I am currently a PhD student at the UC Berkeley in civil engineering, focusing on structural engineering. I got my bachelors in civil engineering and my masters in engineering and project management.

Specifically, I'm working on several projects funded by the California Department of Transportation, examining highway bridges after earthquakes. In the last three sentences, I used the word engineering four times.

For my doctoral studies, I am doing a minor in public policy, looking into how policy decisions are made in light of engineering data. While it has always been an interest of mine, I have only recently had the time to formally study public policy at the Goldman School. In the world today, there's a large gap between engineers and policy makers, a gap which I hope to bridge (pun intended) through my doctoral work. For more about my research, click here.

Almost 8 years ago, I started Genatech Solutions, a web design and IT services company. Although I serviced solely PCs in the beginning, I am one of those zealot Apple converts who now does IT support almost exclusively for Macs.

Genatech Solutions is also a full-service web-host, and has designed & hosted sites for a large variety of clients (engineering firms, dentists, artists, etc). Click here to see some of the sites that I have designed.

This is a fairly new obsession, but represents one of my favorite outlets from engineering life. It all started with iPhone theming and my very first theme, Twilight, and has since grown into something else entirely. As I write this now it's hard to imagine the novelty of iconography fading, but only time will tell. To see some of my work, click here, or take a look around this website - I've peppered it with icons aplenty.
