I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UCLA. I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After reading about the tech boom in the Wall Street Journal, I came out to the Silicon Valley for college. I went to Santa Clara University (near San Jose) for my undergrad. After graduating during the bust I went straight to grad school ;) My research interests include artificial intelligence, web mining, natural language processing, and programming language design. I also like poker, snowboarding, chess, ultimate frisbee, golf, pool, and surfing.

The goal of PyJS is to allow developers to think in Python when developing client-side JavaScript. It adds to JS: multiple-inheritance, Python exceptions, iterators, itertools, dict and list. It is 40k after I run my (bad) JS compressor on it. It is 11k if you gzip it. I will be presenting PyJS at the August meeting of the Socal Python Interest Group.
Here is the queue of books I haven't gotten to yet: wishlist.
