After graduation form Fredonia in '95 I starded working for a VAR in Ithaca, NY. That lasted about 8 months until I got sick of it and started work at Cornell. I worked at the Cornell CADIF lab (engineering visulization lab) as the sysadmin for 3 years and got the itch to move around again. I left Cornell for the startup called Jump.com. We launched an online PIM in January of '99 and were bought by Microsoft to be intergrated with Hotmail and MSN in March '99. ...I've been here ever since. I currently work at designing new architecture for Hotmail (read: playing with big machines and lots of storage). It's nice to see what the cs homepage has become from such humble beginnings.
