2004-2008 Computational Genomics Group, AI Lab, Stanford University

I have been involved in several projects during my time in the lab. They focused on applying statistical, machine learning methods to analyzing genetic and biological data. Goal of the latest project was to discover clinically relevant classification of cancer types and find gene complexes that would be most susceptible to drug treatment. In the preceding project we developed the methodology to infer genetic ancestry of an individual based on his dense micro-array genotype. Earliest project focused on mechanisms of cell regulation in eucaryotes - creating a motif (TFBS) finding tool

2004-2005 Software Engineer, Voltage Security

Working on Voltage Cryptographic Development Tit development, which provided tools for developing security application with conventional and Identity Based Encryption. Working on FIPS certification of cryptographic module; including implementation of test suit and documentation review. nCypher Hardware Cryptographic Module development .

2003-2004 Security Lab, Stanford University

Leading group of students in design of network timing attack on public key encryption systems such as RSA and DH. We attempted to discover vulnerability in black-box implementation of RSA by Microsoft. Unlike Open-SSL, we did not have access to the implementation of the algorithm, but only mathematical description of key validation.

2002-2003 Assault Section Leader, Infantry, United States Marine Corps

Instructing during pre-war training; planning and commanding combat operations of an assault section as fire support of an infantry company. Participating in planning of platoon size attacks during battles in Al Nassiriya, Baghdad , Al Fajir and other missions.

2000-2002 Ad Hoc Networking Research Group, Stanford University

Design and validation of incentive driven distributed tasks over mobile network. Our goal was to develope a packet passing approach for a distributed ad-hoc network. In this scheme individual entities lack centralized control and each attempts to act in its own interests to minimize external usage of its bandwidth.

2001 Intern Engineer, Recourse Technologies

Working on the intrusion forensics tool, diagnosing event of intrusion by residual evidence. The forensic tool would examine files access flags and other parameters that are hard or impossible to modify externally to infer evidence of possible intrusion. Based on the amount of secondary evidence detection program would determine whether or not to alarm the system administrator.
