[001] Overview
________________________________________________________________________________

I'm a computer engineer living in New York with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from the
Technical University of Munich. Currently collaborating on independent research
with Dr. Anirudh Sivaraman and PhD. Muhammad Haseeb of Systems@NYU on
distributed, low-latency networking in the cloud.

Beyond that I have a strong background in embedded systems, FPGAs,
high-performance computing, and development for Linux/UNIX environments.
For the longer story see about/ — for the full CV see resume/.

[002] Research
________________________________________________________________________________

The work centers on Jasper, a scalable financial exchange in the cloud. My
master thesis built TreeBuilder, a heuristic that selects VMs by present cloud
conditions to improve a multicast tree's latency, both before and at runtime.

[004] Tooling
________________________________________________________________________________

Mastering one's tools matters as much as the craft — or I just enjoy hacking my
setup. Daily-driver Linux for a long time; fond of the freedom in the ecosystem.
