Current Projects

Request for Comments Editor

I provide technical support to the RFC Editor applications and database. The applications are built using a combination of PHP, Perl, XML, XSLT, shell scripts, and MySQL. A back end application manages the document processing work flow. A public application allows visitors to report errata in published RFC documents or to lookup existing reports. A recent addition is a PHP script to dynamically generate a meta data page for each RFC. This is an example.

Earth System Grid

I am working with the team developing the next generation data grid to support the activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Biomedical Informatics Research Network

I am providing CGI programming and database administration for the project.

Academic Papers

I completed the Master of Science in Computer Science at Loyola Marymount University in December 2004. Here is a link to my Master's Thesis. Other papers and proposed papers are also included on my papers page.
