I've graduated from the computer science department with a PhD degree. While at school, I was advised by Dr. Randy Wang and Dr. Kai Li. My research interests included distributed storage systems and distributed file systems. My thesis was on NFS virtualization.

I am currently working for D. E. Shaw & Co. on high frequency quantitative trading algorithms and trading systems

Prior to that, I worked for Microsoft on cloud computing platforms and its Bing search engine.

Prior to that, I interned at ICIR on Internet congestion control, HP Labs on distributed storage virtualization and IBM Research on cluster based video streaming systems.
