I am currently working for IBM in California as a senior software engineer. My role at IBM is as a product architect for IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (TIM). I write requirements and design documents, work with various groups inside of IBM and customers to solve design problems, and do programming. Before working as an architect I was a developer doing Java coding for TIM.

My interests are in software engineering, especially developing web user interfaces, Java programming, security, and bioinformatics. I also am active in studying Chinese, having lived in China for a period of time and having a personal interest in the language and culture.
