Hi, my name is Andrew Wooster, and somehow you've found your way to my homepage. For those of you who don't know me, I recently graduated from Pomona College where I studied Computer Science. Mostly this meant a lot of time at Harvey Mudd College taking computer science courses, with the rest of my courses at Pomona. It also meant a lot of math/theory courses most Mudders don't have to take. During the summer of 2001 I worked for Tellme Networks in Mountain View, CA as an operations programmer writing tools to help manage, monitor, and maintain the large Tellme network service. I also took Capoeira under Mestre Beiçola at Capoeira Narahari in Palo Alto. As of February 9, 2008, I work for Apple as a Software Engineer at the HQ in Cupertino, CA working on Time Machine and other stuff. I also study Capoeira at Capoeira of San Jose. My own research interests lie in the areas of Internet and distributed systems (scalability, P2P network topologies, distributed algorithms, personal Internet applications, etc), data mining, semantic metadata, and other subjects of that ilk. The first real program I wrote was a Perl script that spidered websites looking for changes. I've since gained a lot of experience in web-scale technologies, and can probably explain the intricacies of spidering the web better than anyone on your staff. Someday I will put something more up here. In the meantime, my side-project programming keeps my machines at home humming full time analyzing large bodies of data looking for interesting stuff. |
