Title: Thoughts and Lessons Learned: From UNR to Stanford to High-tech Startups and Cloud Computing
Abstract:
In this talk, I hope to present an engaging summary of my life at UNR and how it shaped my graduate education options leading to Stanford as an opportunity to share what I learned.? I also plan to cover musings from the unique opportunity to see the
founding of Yahoo and participate in the creation of Google while at Stanford?s Computer Science department in the mid- to late 1990s.? On a more career-focused half of the talk I plan to cover some of the lessons from the venture-capital backed startup
companies I participated in and how that has led me today to Medio Systems, where we are innovating on leading-edge technologies at the confluence of analytics, mobile computing and cloud-based Big Data Applications.? Q&A will be invited.
