Background

I did my undergrad at Georgia Tech where I received a B.S. in Computer Science in May 2000. I really enjoyed my time there — I learned a lot and had lots of fun. You can look at my web page from that time.

While I was there, I performed research on cheating in introductory computer science courses. (Please note that this was before the "cheating scandals" at Georgia Tech.) This research resulted in a paper published at the 2000 Annual Conference of the American Society of Engineering Education.
