Ak4ma1 Technologies, May 1999-

During the summer of 1999, I started working at Ak4ma1 Technologies, a Cambridge-based startup founded by MIT professor Tom Leighton and graduate student Danny Lewin, one of the victims of actual terrorism on 9/11/2001. I have been working at Ak4ma1 for nearly six years and have recently been promoted to principal software engineer. (In case it isn't obvious, I'm trying to get my page out of web searches associated with my company.)

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, September 1998-September 2000

In March of 1998, I was accepted to the MIT department of electrical engineering and computer science as a prospective Ph.D. student in theory. As part of that privilege, I worked as a teaching assistant for 6.042, discrete mathematics. Additionally, I did research in Laboratory for Computer Science.

Cornell University, Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Mathematics, August 1994-May 1998

I graduated magna cum laude in computer science and cum laude in mathematics from Cornell University in May of 1998. My academic advisers were Dexter Kozen and Karen Vogtmann, and my research adviser in computer science was Ronitt Rubinfeld, who has since left Cornell for other pursuits.

Incidentally, I started using Linux my first day at Cornell, when Jason Woodward introduced me to it. Over twelve years now.

Arlington Central School District, September 1981-June 1994

Not much to say here. High school sucked. :-)
