I am a research scientist at Yahoo! Research. Before that I was an
assistant professor at Georgia Tech, and before that I was a PhD
student at Stanford.  My interests are in building distributed
systems, and in particular, distributed systems that do database-style
management and processing of data. At Yahoo! I work on building very
large distributed data storage and processing systems. In previous
lives I have worked on self-adaptive peer-to-peer systems, distributed
streaming event processing, reliable distributed archival data
storage, and XML indexing.
