What I do now

Professional Research Assistant

Between January 2011 through August 2011, I am a professional research assistant with assistant professor Aaron Clauset, investigating dynamic systems and models of those systems in areas such as social networking, terrorism, microbiology, and others.

What I used to do

CSOps

From August 2005 to December 2010, I was in charge of the a good portion of faculty and all of staff computing in the department. I worked with Orrie at Unixops for support of the main faculty server and maintained the department's mail, dns, and webserver machines on my own. Mark Dehus was my counterpart in the Computer Science Educational Labs (CSEL) but the position rotated among a number of students. The CSEL is the department's student Linux lab.

Unix System Administration

Once in the Springtime for four years between 2006 and 2009, I taught CSCI 4113 - Unix System Administration every Spring, a course covering the basics for running a Linux server on the web. The link is to the last Spring 2009 course, which is in whatever state you may find it. And here are the links to the old pages: Spring 2006, Spring 2007, and Spring 2008.

Other bits

I completed my masters degree in Computer Science in December of 2010 under the guidance of associate professor Douglas Sicker. Among other tings I sing and compose music in my spare time, enjoy riding my motorcycle (when it's not broken and in the shop), like to scheme my next travel plans with my family or friends, practice yoga (but not like that guy), host people on couchsurfing, or play with useless things on the internet.
