About Me
I m rst and foremost a problem solver. Initially I got into physics and mathematics because I thoroughly enjoy
solving non trivial problems. Computer systems, being a perfect method for nding some solutions, drew me in.
I ve managed networks of 500 to 12000 systems including high performance computing and web front ends. If you
need convincing, I spend a great deal of free time solving extremely dif cult algorithmic problems in my free time

Hobbies
I prefer to spend my free time outdoors which is re ected in my hobbies. Some of my favorite activities are biking,
rock climbing, lm photography, and mountain climbing. Apart from outdoor activities, I enjoy math puzzles from
friends and from web sites such as EulerProject.NET.
