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.
	For much of 2001, I worked as an embedded systems software engineer at Netility, writing operating-system level software for DSL routers. Update: another company down the tubes.
	From February 2000 until April 2001, I worked as a network software architect at Terraspring, helping to build a next-generation Internet server infrastructure. Update: now part of Sun Microsystems. I hit a big windfall at $0.00 per share.
	In 2000 I worked as a consulting engineer at 1stUp.com (a division of CMGI). They made a great free ISP package which other companies could slap a label on and distribute. Update: Unfortunately, as you may have heard, banner ads are now worthless, but modem banks cost money... R.I.P.
	In 1999 I worked at Imagine Radio, which later became part of MTV Interactive's SonicNet. Update: Radio SonicNet is no more. Sigh.
	Through most of 1998 I worked on a concept product at Sun Microsystems code-named Persona. Update: Well, at least I didn't personally kill this company. It struggles onward, trying to figure out what to do for a living, much like a 40-year-old who lives in his mother's basement.
	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. Ooooooh!
	As a research assistant in the MosquitoNet group, I started a project called SPINACH (Secure Public Internet Access Handler). Click here to see what they've done with it since my departure. The original paper I wrote about it appeared in the proceedings of the USENIX Symposium on Internet Technologies and Systems, Dec. 1997.
	As part of the above projects, I have written some software for and modifications to the Linux operating system.
	70,000 San Francisco residents identify themselves as artists... Make that 70,001!
