Up until 2010 I was a a graduate student in the PDOS group at MIT CSAIL, where I worked on distributed systems, including networks, operating systems, and storage systems. Past projects include Eyo, a device transparent storage system that presents a single view of personal data collections, even from disconnected devices that cannot hold the entire collection locally, UIA, an overlay network that allows individuals to group devices by short readable names, and reach them regardless of their current network location, and Spruce (download code), an available bandwidth estimation tool. My CV.
I currently work at Amazon Web Services.
