I am an Electrical Engineering and Computer Science major joining the University of California, Berkeley in fall 2010. I graduated from Interlake High School, where I enjoyed being part of the Gifted High School Program (PRISM).
This summer I am interning at Microsoft Research's eXtreme Computing Group (XCG) in Cloud Computing Futures. I'm working with Roger Barga and Wei Lu to build a large-scale fault-tolerant clustering algorithm on Windows Azure. My blog has regular updates on my experiences at Microsoft.
Some of my personal software projects include DistBoggle, and exploration of how to parallelize the problem of finding dense Boggle boards, and Hunt the Wumpus 3D, a game developed for Microsoft's annual Hunt the Wumpus competition.
I like to spend my free time reading technology news, especially Slashdot; playing Set, pool, and Halo; and biking and hiking.

Projects
In 11th grade, I did some research into distributed genetic algorithms applied to the Boggle word game, to satisfy my curiosity about the single Boggle board with the most words packed into it. This turned into a software project called DistBoggle, and a paper called "Optimizing Boggle Boards: An Evaluation of Parallelizable Techniques."
In 9th grade, I wrote a game called "Hunt the Wumpus 3D," leading a team of six AP Computer Science students for Microsoft's annual Hunt the Wumpus competition.
