Currently working at Intel as Sr. CAD developer in the foundry for the last 5 years.
Previously a Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Also taught a course as a Teaching Assistant.
Has a strong background in Indian philosophy and is an avid reader of Theravada Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. Although not born a Buddhist he has taken took refuge in the triple gem, which qualifies him as a Buddhist. However, he equally respects other streams of spiritual thought that accept the doctrine of karma, and that stress the need for liberation from samsara.
