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.
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 :-).
