I am specifically trying to develop some new techniques for a bridge playing AI. I work for Greg Humphreys in the Department of Computer Science.
In my past lives, I grew up in Montgomery County, MD. I started playing ice hockey when I was 7 years old, and I played for Montgomery Hockey and Capital Boys Hockey for a number of years. I also played for my high school, Magruder High School. I went to Carnegie Mellon University for my undergrad and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science with an additional major in Psychology. I also played ice hockey for the Tartans, Carnegie Mellon’s team while I was there. I graduated in May 2003, did some contracting work and ended up at UVA 8 months later.
