Academic Stuff

I'm a graduate student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley where I'm a member of Professor Mike Stonebraker's Database Research Group. My project, funded by the State of California's Department of Water Resources , is part of the Sequoia 2000 Global Change Research Project. I have built a database retrieval system called Chabot for around 11,000 images using Postgres and I am studying ways to retrieve them using color clues.
Click here to look for thumbnails of these images. Here is a sample:

[If you had graphics you'd see five real pretty pictures of California]

Work Stuff

I'm working as the Infocal programmer. Infocal is a database of information for and about the UC Berkeley campus. We provide access to the class schedule, job listings, campus events, and so on, using a variety of access methods including telnet, gopher, www, email, and dedicated terminals around the campus. I also administer the web servers for garnet and violet .
