This page serves as a place holder and as a way to track some of my online activities.

I am a Programmer/Analyst in the UCLA Human Genetics Department. This generic government title means I do a little bit of everything and have a working title of Systems Architect/Software Engineer.

I am also the Chief Operations Officer of TinyTube Networks.

My current technical interests are centered around High-Performance Computing, Distributed Filesystems, large-scale unified storage, and automation, using exclusively free and open source software on cheap commodity hardware. I also enjoy auto repair and racing, surfing, construction and real estate, and more recently beer brewing.

Some of my online activities include:

• Blogging technical tricks, notes and gotchas.
• Bookmarking on del.icio.us.
• Professional networking on LinkedIn.
• Social and professional networking on Facebook.
• Open-source development on SourceForge.

Some of the open-source projects I work on include:

• SolexaTools Project
• Biopackages RPM Repository
• Biopackages RPM Build-Farm Infrastructure
• Celsius Microarray Datawarehousing Project

• Various Linux, FreeBSD and open-source projects and mailing lists

Some of the closed-source projects (which contribute back open-source patches) I work on include:

• TinyTube
• PocketVOD

Some of my public documents are available here:

• Presentations
• Papers (coming soon)
• Resume
