I'm not looking for work right now, but my resume and references are available, and I'm always interested to hear about particularly innovative, clever, useful computer network projects... send me an email!


Current and Past Projects

These days, I am a senior software engineer on the AdSense for TV team at Google.
From 2002 through 2006, I wrote embedded software for the cable television settop market at MetaTV (now part of TVWorks).
For much of 2001, I worked as an embedded systems software engineer at Netility, writing operating-system level software for DSL routers.
From February 2000 until April 2001, I worked as a network software architect at Terraspring (now part of Sun Microsystems), helping to build a next-generation Internet server infrastructure.
In 2000 I worked as a consulting engineer at 1stUp.com (a division of CMGI). They made a great free dialup ISP package which other companies could slap a label on and distribute.
Remember dialup?
In 1999 I worked at Imagine Radio, which later became part of MTV Interactive's SonicNet.
Through most of 1998 I worked on a concept product at Sun Microsystems code-named Persona.
From 1995-1997, I was a member of the MosquitoNet research group in Stanford University's Computer Science Department.
The RadioScope is a wireless, Internet-accessible digital oscilloscope I created as a quarter project at Stanford University.
As webmaster for the Noe Valley Voice, a monthly community newspaper in San Francisco, I oversee the incorporation of every issue's contents into the web site.
As a contributing writer, I have written about juicy topics like Muni service and parking proposals.
As a research assistant in the MosquitoNet group, I started a project called SPINACH (Secure Public Internet Access Handler). The original paper I wrote about it appeared in the proceedings of the USENIX Symposium on Internet Technologies and Systems, December 1997.
