I am a second-year EECS major at Berkeley and an intern at Copilot Labs (a small startup in San Francisco). I'm addicted to programming, probably to an unhealthy extent---not content with just programming both for work and for school, I routinely participate in hackathons and maintain random side projects.
My particular areas of interest include programming languages and functional programming. Particularly, I've been looking into functional reactive programming and program synthesis; I am also designing a silly little scripting language.
I am a bit of an open source fanatic and these days use FOSS almost exclusively. I'm thrilled that every day open source software becomes more and more complete; with my newest laptop, I don't boot Windows at all and I've even ditched Flash recently thanks to Youtube's html5 video support.
All in all, life is good.
