Software Development Engineer, Microsoft

I am currently a software development engineer at Microsoft. I work on a team that develops social and community features for MSN.com.

MSCS from Stanford University

I recently graduated with a master's computer science from Stanford University. I specialized in systems and took classes in advanced operating systems, distributed systems, distributed databases, and networking.

Before going to Stanford I worked as a software development engineer for Amazon.com. I worked on a team of 9 engineers that developed a large tier 1 service for the website.

I earned my bachelor's degree in computer engineering at Brigham Young University from June 2000 to April 2006 and graduated summa cum laude. I studied digital architecture, embedded systems, and FPGAs.

Christmas 2008 in San Diego

We spent Christmas in San Diego with my wife's Danielle's family. We visited the zoo, went to the Holiday Bowl, ran a 5k, and enjoyed the sun.
