Where I work

I teach introductory and intermediate level Computer Science classes at Occidental College in the Department of Mathematics.

I also work at NASA/Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Currently, I support NASA scientists' product evaluation and algorithm test of the microwave and infrared sounders that will be on the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP), a satellite that will provide meteorological and environmental forecasting and global climate monitoring. (Oxy students: Check here for information about part-time jobs at JPL!)

Other Interests of mine

• I'm a long-time member and activist in Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR)
• I am a volunteer Computer Science reader at the Los Angeles branch of Recording For the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D) .
• I'm also a gay activist. Come out now! Ask me how! (If you vote in California, vote NO ON PROP. 8 this November!)
• I'm struggling to learn Spanish. Getting gay e-mail in Spanish via Arenal helps.
• If you dare, here are a few Obscenity Examples
