I have been working at Google since late 1999 on distributed systems, performance tools, indexing
systems, compression schemes, memory management, data representation languages, RPC systems,
and other systems infrastructure projects. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT. Before
joining Google, I was a member of the research staff at DEC Systems Research Center in Palo Alto, CA.
