I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. My research interests lie broadly in the areas of wireless networking and computer security and privacy. In grad school, I've played with software defined radios, participated in the pioneering work on wireless implantable medical device security, hacked the firmware and drivers on 802.11n radios, and worked with fast, directional 60 GHz wireless technology in production data centers.
I've made the code for many of my projects available on GitHub. This includes around 45 patches to the Linux Kernel.
You may be interested in my random useful things for academics.
My classmates and I were apparently into computing at a very early age.

I taught CSE 484 / CSE M 584, Computer Security in Autumn 2011.
Ph.D. candidate, University of Washington.
I am advised by David Wetherall and Thomas Anderson.
M.S., Spring 2008, University of Washington.
B.S., Joint Computer Science and Mathematics, 2006, Harvey Mudd College.
I worked with and learned from many great professors, but especially thank Ran Libeskind-Hadas and Zachary Dodds.
I am a member of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), the IEEE, USENIX, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and most importantly the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
In my free time I captain the UW CSE Softball Team (The 2009 Infield Fly Conjecture and The 2010 No Missed Caches), go rock climbing, and try to keep my Spanish in shape. I really enjoy tutoring almost any subject I know anything about.
