Lead Architect of Living Reviews, an online refereed scientific journal. http://www.livingreviews.org/

• Responsible for the technical development and maintenance of the Living Reviews website, software and supporting technical infrastructure.
• Investigated and recommended new technologies, such as XML, XSL-T, and Java Swing. Gave presentations and tutorials to affiliated groups about said technologies.
• Extended and modularized article conversion software using Java Swing and Perl. This facilitated the expansion of the Living Reviews software package to a new generic XML Publishing Toolkit and accommodated the use of the software by other journals.
• Collaborated with the MoWGLI Project to design and implement many new features, such as dynamic creation of web site content through use of XML, Schema and XSL style-sheets.
• Provided technical consultation on the development of a generic electronic journal processing toolkit which is based on the Living Reviews software and is currently under development by the Heinz Nixdorf Center for Information Management in the Max Planck Society (ZIM).

Research Programmer in the GridLab Project, which builds Grid middleware and tools. http://www.gridlab.org/

• Contributed to the design of a multi-tier Portlet framework/container that is implemented in Java and uses web technologies such as JSP and XML.
• Developed and designed application-specific Java components for the GridLab and ASC portals.
• Created a suite of Perl-based Grid tools and a testing framework which was used for prototyping and supporting demos at international conferences such as CCGrid 2003 and Supercomputing 2002.
• Worked extensively with end-users to pinpoint application requirements and to steer development of GridLab services and tools toward providing end-user functionality and usability.

Application Developer for Cactus, an open-source parallel computing framework. http://www.cactuscode.org/

• Enhanced and created new Cactus C/C++ modules to interact with our web-portal, enabling scientists to monitor and remotely manage their running simulations.
• Brought dynamic content to and streamlined the CactusCode website by writing many CGI programs and by implementing Server Side Includes (SSI).
• Actively analyzed, tracked and solved user submitted bug-reports using Gnats bug tracking system. Provided technical help to a world-wide community of Cactus users and developers.
• Worked independently and showed creativity by introducing new features to Cactus.
• Developed a system to aggregate Cactus module's documentation into a central and standardized form using templates, thereby greatly improving access to information for Cactus developers and users.
• Used a combination of Perl, C, shell scripting and GNU Make to develop new, and improve upon many existing, utility programs for the Cactus Framework.

• 2008 (expected), Ph.D, Computer Science, Cardiff University, United Kingdom.
• 1999, B.A., Political Science, University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
• 1999, Certificate in Trans-Atlantic Studies, University of Bath, Bath, UK.
• 1995, A.A., North Seattle Community College, Seattle, USA.

• Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) for Redhat 8.0. Certificate Number: 808003664707814. Awarded by Redhat Inc., the largest distributer of Linux in the world (2003).
• Certificate in MPI, OpenMP and Advanced Topics in Parallel Programming. Awarded for a course on advanced topics in parallel programming by HLRS, Stuttgart (2001).

• HPC Challenge Awards (Supercomputing 2002) for Most Geographically Distributed Applications and Most Heterogeneous Set of Platforms.
• High-performance bandwidth challenge (Supercomputing 2002), Highest Performing Application.
