Me in Hong Kong, March 2008I am a Stanford undergrad ('11) majoring in Mathematical and Computational Sciences.

I enjoy programming in Python, C++, Ruby, and sometimes Objective-C. I'm particularly interested in Web search, since it links so many different areas of CS: distributed systems, scalability, databases, numerical methods for computation, machine learning, etc. I am keeping track of the books, papers, sites, and software that are helping me learn about Web search and related areas.

I also have an interest in China and speak Mandarin. If that describes you, too, then you'd like my Chinese dictionary iPhone app and Web site. I like traveling and staying in China, and not only because it's the only place I could possibly afford to go. My travel photos are on Flickr.
