My friends would describe me as optimistic, outgoing, warm,
friendly, energetic, and a clear thinker. As a brief bio, I
grew up in LA, went to Stanford for undergrad and Cambridge
University for my PhD in computer science. I then worked at
NASA where they sent my software into deep space (it weighs
less than I do), then ventured out into the business world
as an entrepreneur, and recently came back to NASA. I also
volunteer time with a cool non-profit. As for hobbies, I
love travel, games (I'm a chess master), ballroom dancing,
singing, reading, and movies. Favorite sports are ultimate
Frisbee, skiing, web-surfing, tennis, and hiking. I am
equally comfortable in a tuxedo, a t-shirt, or a wetsuit.

I'm always up for meeting brilliant and creative people.
Romantically, my ideal match is quick-witted, playful,
deep, talkative, creative/artistic , social, warm, and
loves to dance.
