Education
In May of 2009, I will graduate with a B.S. in Computer Science with Honors from the University of Wisconsin—Madison.
My areas of interest include multithreaded development, networking, and undergraduate CS curriculum planning. I have a wide range of experience from practical to theoretical, including sysadmin work as well as software architecture and development.
This semester, I am finishing my Senior Honors Thesis studying the best ways to integrate an awareness of advanced computer science topics into first-year course projects. I think that alluding to more difficult challenges will get first-year students more excited about the real problems Computer Scientists face, and increase retention in the major.
Professional History
In July 2009, I am starting as an SDE at Microsoft in the Networking group.
In Spring 2009, I received the UW-Madison CS Department's Undergraduate Teaching Award sponsored by Yahoo! This award is new this year.
In Summer 2008 I interned at Bloomberg in NYC. It was awesome!
Since January 2007, I have been employed as a developer for the NTL LTER Project at the UW Center for Limnology.
Software I've developed for CFL has moved here.
Since Fall 2006, I have also been a team leader for the WES-CS program. This program brought me to SIGCSE 2008 and got me interested in pedagogical issues in Computer Science.
