Camect, Inc (ask me if you need it)

Welcome to my ancient web page from my grad student days, updated with a little current information, but not (yet) a new look :-).

I now work at Camect, Inc. building a smart network video recorder that will make IP cameras smart, simple, and accessible anywhere, in a secure and privacy-focused way.

Before Camect, I spent 12.5 years(!) having fun leading the team that rebuilt the crawl system at Google and drastically expanded the scale, freshness, and comprehensiveness of Google's web crawl.

Before Google, I spent four years working at Yahoo!. For most of that time, I worked in Yahoo!'s e-commerce group building a neat high-performance programmable proxy system used to integrate brand-name merchants into Yahoo! Shopping. Shortly before I left Yahoo! I also built the prototype of Yahoo!'s product search.

Before Yahoo!, I was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science. I finished my Ph.D. in 1998.

As you might be able to guess, my professional interests include large scale distributed systems and electronic commerce. I also used to dabble in operating systems and mobile computing, but I have not done much in either area recently.

If you're curious, you may take a look at my very out-of-date résumé as HTML, PDF, Postscript, or ascii text.
