I am a programmer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego, currently working in the UC Compute Systems group. I am the project lead and developer for the Inca Grid monitoring software tool (originally developed for TeraGrid) and am UCSD's representative for the UC Grid project. I am also SDSC's PI and chair of the Performance Committee for the FutureGrid project led by Indiana University.

Previously, I did Grid portal development work for the Extreme! Computing Lab in the Computer Science department at Indiana University. I received my Master's in Computer Science at UCSD in 2001 and did my thesis work on tunable application-level scheduling for an online parallel tomography application.
