This homepage is even emptier than my last one. Perhaps someday I'll add something. Till then, there are links.

Programming

• I worked at Reputation Technologies from 2000 till January 2003. (They have since been acquired by Security Source.)
• Since early 2003, I've been working for arma: I help write software for the Tor project.
• If you have an interesting project, I might available for a limited amount of contract work.
  I haven't updated my resume in a while, but you can check it out if you like.
• These days, I spend my free hacking time on Mixminion, an anonymous remailer.
  The first alpha was available on December 16; the most recent version is 0.0.6.2.
• I also help maintain the Freehaven Anonymity bibliography.
• I did a project called Parsely once; it was a pretty neat solution to a problem nobody actually seems to have.
• PolyJ was my principal undergraduate project.
• I did my M.Eng work on a very minor facet of Jif.
• I'm a somewhat rabid Python enthusiast. Maybe you would like it too.
