Academic

Hobbies

I'm a Cornell Computer Science major and a member of the research team headed by Prof. Brian Smith.

I am working on a distributed computing extension to the Tcl language called Tcl-DP. There is a whitepaper on the new version and here's the main ftp site for the software.

When I am not working/studying, I am usually playing my 5-string Carvin or 4-string fretless Ibanez SoundGear basses. I have been playing bass for 7 years now.

I live at 630 Stewart Ave: Cayuga Lodge where I am disbursment treasurer this semester.

Professional

The Future

This summer I worked at Microsoft in the Windows NT Networking group as a Software Design Engineer (i.e. programmer).

Last summer I worked at PeopleSoft, Inc, world leader in enterprise client/server database tools. Here's a recent job description posted internally to PeopleSoft that described my job.

I will be staying here until Dec 1997 to get an M.Eng degree.
I have accepted a job at Trilogy working as a Software Engineer starting January 1998.
