I am a second year PhD student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, working with the Storage Systems Research Center and advised by Darrell Long. I am broadly interested in systems, storage performance, and data encoding. My current research is on designing a framework for long-term storage, management, integration, and effective querying of various types of Earth Science data.

I completed my MS from the University of California, San Diego. My thesis is on extending the reliability and performance of RAID architectures, working under Walt Burkhard in the Systems and Networking group. I earned a BS in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of South Florida, with work on DNA encoding methods. I have spent the last several summers working on storage performance and analysis at Google and previous summers on storage characterization and virtualization at Teradata Labs.

Current resume.
