I'm a part-time graduate student at UC Santa Cruz and a full-time Software Engineer at the IBM Almaden Research Center working on performance management for large distributed storage systems. My advisor here at UCSC is Darrell Long.

Previous to this work I finished an M.S. in Computer Science at UCSC in 2006 and a B.S. in Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College in 2003, plus many internships at IBM Almaden. The best way to reach me is email, kristal at cs dot ucsc dot edu.
