Biography

I am a Computer Science student from Oregon State University with additional focus in New Media (web design/social networking) and Business (IT management).

I have worked at the Open Source Lab in Corvallis for the last 3 years, where I have been given the opportunity to work directly with large and small open source projects. I have recently focused on scaling webapps through various levels of caching, database optimizations and application tweaks.

I am also a Performance Engineer for Tag1 Consulting, Inc., where I am able to focus more on scalability of the LAMP stack — specifically Drupal.
