About

I am currently working for the Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) at Microsoft in Mountain View, California.

I am a Mary Gates Scholar and also genereously supported by VIGRE.
My favorite number is 6. It is the first perfect number and the order of the smallest non-abelian group (S_3). I also happen to be born on June 6th, 1986.

SAGE

I am a developer of SAGE which is a really cool open source mathematics software package.
I am implementing distributed computing functionality in to SAGE, which is called dsage to tackle hard problems like integer factorization, or distributed graphics rendering and many other applications.
