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 a teacher, student, independent consultant, and former Chief Operations Officer.

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, construction and real estate, entrepreneurship and investing, surfing, and beer brewing.

Some of my online activities include:

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