I say, let me never be complete.
I say, let me never be content.

If you are looking for my resume, you have certainly come to the right place.  This resume was last updated on 05/25/2006 and reflects my current status. 

Also, I maintain a much more complete description of my work experiences here.  My "long version" resume expands on each of my projects in much greater detail.  It is a long read, but will give you a true picture of who I am.
