About Me

I am a developer on the Windows CE team at Microsoft. I've been working here since 1999.
I work on system performance and tools for diagnosing the sources of performance problems.
In the past I also worked on the object store: registry, databases, RAM file system.
And I have some experience with the kernel.
I live in Atlanta, GA and work from home there.
Besides work, I am interested in getting kids, especially girls, interested in computing.
And in getting CE into more college classes.
