About me

I studied at The University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University. I spent a couple of years at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, where I started as the Program Manager for Filesystems in Windows CE. Later, I owned both the Kernel and Filesystem for Windows CE 6.0 which we released in late 2006. Microsoft was a wonderful experience and I was very fortunate to have had a good team and two wonderful managers. I quit in 2007 to go backpacking around the world. I traveled through South America, Africa, and Asia. It was great.
