about me

I'm a Lead Architect at Nimbis Services. I'm interested in increasing the productivity of computational scientists and engineers by making it easier for them to use large-scale computational resources for scientific and engineering applications, especially cloud computing resources. I'm also involved in the OpenStack project, where I'm on the Doc Core team.

Once upon a time, I studied software developers to understand what problems they face and to evaluate whether proposed technologies actually make their lives easier. Nowadays, I develop software instead of studying how others do it.

bio

I received a PhD in computer science from the University of Maryland (2006), an M.S. in electrical engineering from Boston University (2002), and a B.Eng. in computer engineering from McGill University (1999). I was an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the Computer Science & Engineering department from 2006-2008. I was a computer scientist at USC/ISI in the Adaptive Parallel EXecution (APEX) Computing Group from 2008-2011.
