Families, when a child is born / Want it to be intelligent.
I, through intelligence, / Having wrecked my whole life,
Only hope the baby will prove / Ignorant and stupid.
Then he will crown a tranquil life / By becoming a Cabinet Minister

-- Su Tung-p'o, K. Rexroth, trans.

Work

I am currently CTO of Blekko, search engine startup that's currently in beta. (Want an invite? Email me, or follow @blekko on twitter.) Formerly, I was Chief Scientist of the System Interconnect Group of QLogic Corporation. QLogic purchased PathScale, a startup at which I was a Founder and Distinguished Engineer. At PathScale, I was the system architect of the InfiniPath InfiniBand HCA. Before that, I was CTO of Conservative Computer, Inc. Before that, I worked as a Technical Director for High Performance Technologies Inc. I design and build parallel supercomputing clusters, like this one. Heck, I've even been interviewed by Slashdot about it. Before that I was a Research Scientist (and head of the applications group) at the Legion Project, and designed and built the Centurion cluster. Before that I was `Technical Staff' in the systems department at D. E. Shaw & Co. in New York. You gotta love those industry job titles, eh? I was once a gradual student in astronomy, researching general relativistic numerical hydrodynamics. Part of my master's research was helping develop the VH-1 numerical hydrodynamics program. I'm a real programmer at heart. I have used machines at PSC and NCSA. I have an interest in benchmarking.

Play

I call myself a hacker, but don't be confused by the media definition of the word. I deny any knowledge of IRC, or the game Wumpus. I think that on-line books are cool. Two good places to look are the Online Books page, and Project Gutenberg. On-line magazines aren't quite as cool as on-line books, but there's a good index for them nonetheless. Tuva is Really Cool. Finally, everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion. See, here's my Google Groups profile.
