Education & Work

In a previous life, I interned and was later employed as a Computer Security Engineer at Atlan Laboratories where I was the primary developer of their proprietary suite of cryptography test tools. I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park in December '03.

CSE

I was the co-president (with Arnab Nandi) of CSEG, the UM Computer Science and Engineering Graduate student organization during 2008-09. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about CSE or Ann Arbor.

I also used to run the CSE Software Reading Group which discusses papers from leading Systems, Networking and Security conferences.

Personal

I love to travel. I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in Asia, Europe and North America, and travel to Australia. My goal over the next few years is to weasel out a trip to South America and Africa :-).
