Academic and contact information

I have completed my Master of Computer Science degree from UIUC's CS department. I originally intended on doing a PhD, but changed last minute due to getting sick of dealing with the department's bureaucracy. I graduated with a B.S. in computer engineering from University of Washington. Over the past few years I have held internships at Intel, AirTouch (now part of Verizon), and Raytheon.
