Education

• Ph.D., Computer Science, University of California at Los Angeles (expected 1998). Major field of study: VLSI CAD. Minor fields of study: Computer Architecture, Programming Languages and Systems.
• M.S., Computer Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (1989)
• B.S., Computer Science and Mathematics, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (1987)

• Research Assistant, UCLA Computer Aided Design Lab, Prof. Jason Cong, Ph.D., advisor (1992 to present). Currently performing research on fundamental problems in the VLSI CAD field, with an emphasis on high performance interconnect design, system level performance optimization, and novel approaches to routing and placement.
• Research Assistant, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Prof. Wen-Ben Jone, Ph.D., advisor (1989). Performed research on the construction of test sets for circuit verification.

• Scheduled as a guest lecturer, UCLA Extension class "Cyberspace and the Design of Virtual Worlds" (1998).
• Guest Lecturer, Southern California Institute of Architecture (1997).
• Instructor, Computer Science 122 (Introduction to Algorithms), New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (1989).

• Founder, Technology Director of IKM Interactive (1995 to present). Developed a platform-independant rendering engine for multi-user distributed virtual environments. The rendering engine includes a multi-threaded stack machine interpreter, allowing multiple users to share a single virtual space. Other applications developed include a server which multiplexes messages between users, handles the automatic upload and download of specifications for the environment and user avatars, and integrates with a commercial suite of tools for web-based commerce.
• Consultant, WebVision Inc. (1996). Provided software design and development support for a suite of database and order management tools (the WebTropolis package), which has been integrated with the Netscape Enterprise web server.
• Consultant, Activision Inc.(1995). Performed design and development for a prototype Internet-based multi-user application, and assisted in the completion of portions of the core logic in a major multimedia game release.
• Intern, LSI Logic (Summer, 1993). Integrated the DECIMATE standard cell global router with LSI Logic's in-house CAD tools.
• Systems Analyst, Barton Industries (1989 to 1991). Developed control and automation software for petroleum industry clients. Implemented systems provided remote access to embedded controllers, maintained a distributed database across workstations in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, and presented process information through a graphical user interface.
• Systems Analyst, Xytec Automation (1987 to 1988). Developed control and automation software for embedded controllers in oil production units. Assisted in the development of hardware for embedded systems, the construction of radio modems, and the development of communications protocols for use with remote units.
