Short bio

I joined Google in March, 2005. Before that, I was a research scientist at HP Labs from August 2001 to February 2005. Before that, I was a grad student at Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington from September 1995 to June 2001. Before that, I was at Access Ltd (now Inc) between April 2001 and Mar 2004.

Stuff I did

See here for my list of publications and free software.

At HPL, I worked on FAB distributed disk array, Pangaea wide-area file system, and a bunch of random other things.

At UW, I built Porcupine, a high-capacity cluster-based mail server, with a particular focus on fault tolerance in unreliable environments. I also used to work on the legendary SPIN operating system. Achievements include a Digital UNIX and FreeBSD emulation services, a system call IDL compiler, the virtual memory system, (a part of) the file system, and a persistent storage system.

My Interests
