I do research in the field of computational biology, studying evolvabilty, in the Feldman Lab at Stanford.

Over the past ten years some interesting things have happened to me:

I fathered two children.

I rode a bicycle across the United States along with my wife and two friends.

I failed to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, though I tried.

I went on a month-long trip around China.

I went to Burning Man.

I got married.

At a company called Inktomi, a few friends and I indexed the entire World Wide Web. In a couple of years we were serving the majority of Web search queries... until Google ultimately beat us out.

I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Caltech.

I made this cool graphics demo that lets you fly through a cadaver.

I published some papers and a bunch of other things happened too, I can't remember them all... but some of them are on my curriculum vitae.
