I am a research associate (yes, that is code for 'postdoc') in the UW eScience Institute. Primarily, I work with Bill Howe and others on making science go faster!
I earned my Ph.D. in June 2012 from the department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, where I was advised by David Wetherall and Tom Anderson. My thesis work showed how to use low-level RF measurements to accurately, quickly, and efficiently configure wireless networks. As part of my thesis work, I developed an IEEE 802.11n measurement and experimentation platform, which I released to the commnunity (see the CCR 2011 paper below).
I have 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., June 2012, University of Washington.
I was 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), 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.
