Visualization
I developed and co-founded VocabGrapher and MapMyWord, which won Google's best overall and most intelligent awards in 2006. In spring 2007, I worked at Adobe's Advanced Technology Labs in San Jose, on a visualization project.
Internet Algorithms
I'm captivated by internet-related algorithms, particularly web mining and ranking systems. In summer 2007, I did a Software Engineering internship at Google in Mountain View, CA.
