🔒🐘 I was a senior staff engineer at Sandia Labs, where I started/led their Hadoop research program. In 2009, I co-founded a company that makes it easier and safer to communicate on-the-go. We participated in the Lightspeed Summer Grant program and launched the iPhone application ZapText. My masters research focused on platforms for mobile/social interaction and was part of POMI project in Prof. Monica Lam's research group.
