I research the most dynamic and rapidly changing areas in computer systems: datacenter systems and mobile systems.
"Clouds", "BigData", or "NoSQL", are all different terms for datacenter-resident systems that enable massive amounts of computational power to process huge amounts of data. I am developing new techniques for improving the scale and reliability of such systems. Systems employing my techniques are in active production use at massive scale.
I also research improvements to the mobile systems and networks that are increasingly the human interface to datacenter-resident systems.

The CMU Wireless Emulator that I developed is available for external users. This has been a key element in papers and courses both internal and external to CMU, and has been in active use for over six years. See the Emulator homepage for more information.

I am originally from Watsonville, California, home of an earthquake, lots of strawberries, and some apple cider. This should not be confused with the "Artichoke Capital of the World" Castroville, California , but it frequently is anyway; I've been asked about it worldwide. Castroville's publicity is amazing given its size.
Prior to attending CMU, I attended Brigham Young University. My wife and I were members of the Ballroom Dance Company there.
