Law of Life #20

"I always win... somehow... someway... "

View all my laws of life here.

I'm currently a Team Manager at Conviva, Inc. (formally called Rinera Networks).

I recently graduated from U.C. Berkeley with my PhD. I was advised by Joseph Hellerstein and Ion Stoica in developing a P2P query processor.

A copy of my CV/Resume is available in PDF format.
