About Me

My resume and CV are available.

I'm a third year computer science PhD student at Cornell University. While an undergraduate at Duke University I majored in computer science and math, and minored in economics. Before then I came from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, a village near Cleveland.

My computer science activities before I came to Cornell included competing in the ACM ICPC (including the 2003 world finals), working on visualization tools, and writing a timer program to teach myself Cocoa and getting a review in Macworld.

Less productive non-work activities include thinking about human and machine learning and thinking, reading old novels, writing half finished pieces of writing, writing half finished pieces of code, recreational programming, playing computer games, and photography.
