About Me

I'm a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. My major was Computer Science, and I was in the Turing Scholars Honors Program. I graduated in Spring 2008; currently, I am employed by National Instruments, where I sit in a cubicle and test/write/test/fix device driver software.

I was a proctor for CS315 for the Spring 2008 semester.

My Research

I work for UTCS, doing research into software testing; my research advisor is Dr. Calvin Lin, and I work a lot with Walter Chang (who was coincidentally my CS315H TA). What started out as an undergraduate research gig evolved into my honors thesis: An automated test case generator for C programs. C is a fun language until you have to write tools to try and analyze it. My thesis is available online.

I also helped out a lot on another project, which, after several failed attempts at publication, resulted in a paper: Efficient and Extensible Security Enforcement Using Dynamic Data Flow Analysis, due to appear in the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security.

Where to find me

Due to my alumni status, I no longer linger around the Taylor basement as much as I used to. The best way to get in contact with me is to e-mail me.
