I began college as an ignorant Computer Science and Engineering major at University of California, Los Angeles. I dabbled a little in Bioinformatics, working as a summer intern at City of Hope. I did research into Microarray Analysis programs quantifying the error incident in various programs in attempting to calculate the magnitude of gene expression. I finished my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering in 2006 from University of California, Los Angeles. I worked as a web developer for uWink inc building a digital bistro in the later half of 2006. The company has since gone public, and new restaurants are opening ... ^_-.

Since then, I have ventured from the streets of LA, down to the land on endless quantities of Mexican food, Hawaiian shirts, and intense computer architecture of San Diego. This is the beginning of my second year as a Ph.D. student at the University of California, San Diego in Computer Architecture. I have an amazing advisor, Dr. Dean Tullsen, who I am sure I drive crazy with my unfocused myriad of interests. I hope to focus my interests, add mettle to my research, and have results to publish

I am very much into computers. I love to build, mod, overclock, and run benchmarks to demonstrate my marginal ability ... lol. I also enjoy web development, and find myself diving into a new tutorial a few times a week or so. You will usually find me programming cakephp or rubyonrails on my spare time ... whenever that occurs these days. Usually, I focus on computer architecture, and am investigating heterogeneous multicore processors. I wish to focus my interests a bit, and have hopes of entering the console world and examining low cost, high performance gaming solutions. I am not sure where to begin this, and am currently investigating.
