I'm currently a software engineer at Asana in San Francisco. For three years I was the first engineer at Quora starting from pre-beta launch. I have also held engineering roles at Facebook, Pixar, and Obama for America. I received a bachelor's degree in computer science from M.I.T. and was a PhD student in computer science at Stanford.

Most of my software projects are proprietary. While in academia, I published computer graphics research papers on mesh inverse kinematics and altering mesh topologies.
I am a crossword constructor with over 30 puzzles published in the New York Times. My crosswords have been featured in tournaments such as the 2013 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament and Lollapuzzoola 6. I was a member of the 2014 Mystery Hunt writing team.
I have supplied freelance crosswords for events such as weddings and film premieres. I invite you to contact me if you are interested in freelance puzzlemaking services.
