Welcome to my Home!

Hi there. I'm Melissa. I recently graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Engineering and Applied Science. That pretty much means Computer Science, but Caltech doesn't offer a CS degree. Anyway, I now live in Ithaca, New York. I am working as a programmer at Cornell, in the Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology. My job pretty much rocks. We are doing interesting research, and I have learned a lot.

Well, the only reason this page even exists is that I was applying for a job designing web pages, and I wanted to refresh my knowledge of HTML, and try out using frames (aren't you impressed? :). They never actually taught us any practical skills at Caltech. You can probably guess from the quality that I didn't want the job very badly. It turned out to be a good thing I didn't knock myself out too much, because the employers padded the job description even more than I padded my resume. It turned out to be just data-entry into a web page, and I never called them back.

I like the Powerpuff girls.
