This is an academic portfolio of my graduate work at the University of California, Los Angeles for a Master's degree in Computer Science (M.S.), completed in May 2008.  I received my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego in June 2002. 

My academic interests are in computer graphics, physics-based animation, visual effects, and artificial intelligence.

My graduate advisor is Petros Faloutsos of the Computer Science Department, Director of the MAGIX graphics lab at UCLA.

From Sep. 2002 to Sep. 2006 I worked as a graphics programmer for BAE Systems in San Diego, CA developing a satellite imagery package called SOCET GXP.  During the summer of 2007 I worked as a graphics programmer for Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, CA porting a 3-D satellite/missile visualization tool (NOVA) from Windows to Linux.
