About Me
I am a fifth year Ph.D. student at the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School. I am advised by Tom Anderson in the Systems Lab and Danyang Zhuo at Duke University. I'm broadly interested in operating systems and distributed systems and the intersection of the two areas. In my current research, I'm working on improving reliability and development velocity of Linux kernel modules by writing them in Rust and improving debugging and deployment. I will be on the industry job market starting Spring 2023.
I completed my undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin. While there, I did research with Simon Peter. For my honors thesis, I studied the affects of applying high-performance, userspace networking to MapReduce. I've also done four industry internships, all at Google. There, I've worked on an internal traffic shaping tool, Google Cloud Dataflow, Google Compute Engine, and ChromeOS.
