This site is stilll woefully under construction, but feel free to poke around. The projects section is still mostly empty, the blog is only just getting ready to get started. I think this site will always be under construction as my priorities lie in so many other more important directions.

Interests:

I am currently working in the realm of data mining, specifically working in temporal data mining. I have also done some research in distributed data storage, and work involving the Linux kernel network stack (NDA :-/ ) . Although not strictly research, I have also had a strong interest in computer and network security, robotics, and as many other geeky things as I could find time for.
