From 2003 to 2010 I worked as a full-time flight instructor at the Palo Alto airport.
My instructing web site is inactive but still available.
From 1996 to 2001 I was the co-founder and Director of Software Development for
Silicon Spice,
a telecommunications startup. I was issued 18 patents for my work on
parallel hardware.
From 1990 to 1996 I was a PhD student at Stanford, where I did research on parallel
compilers and helped develop the
SUIF Compiler System.
Finally, from 1986 to 1990 I was an undergraduate at MIT, where I helped
invent instant messaging.
