General Info

Although I was born in San Diego, CA, I spent most of my life in Maryland. In 2004 I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Math. After graduating, I coincidentally moved back to San Diego for graduate school. Now I work with Dr. Amin Vahdat in the Systems and Networking group at UC San Diego where I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science. When I'm not in the office, I enjoy playing the guitar, snowboarding (weather permitting) and playing darts.
