<p>
I am <a href="https://colin-scott.github.io/personal_website/cv.pdf">working</a> as a software engineer for Google's NetInfra org (previousy: Next Billion Users).</br>
</br>
Prior to Google I spent two wonderful years at Microsoft Research
India, where I focused on information and communications technology for
development (ICTD) and got to work with amazing people like
<a href="http://billthies.net/">Bill Thies</a>,
<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaaction/about/management-and-trustees/shubhranshu-choudhary">Shubranshu Choudhary</a>,
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/muthian/">Muthian Sivathanu</a>,
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/amshar/">Amit Sharma</a>,
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/jaoneil/">Jacki O'Neill</a>,

</br>
I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I was supported by
an NSF Graduate Research <a href=https://www.nsfgrfp.org>Fellowship</a>.
My dissertation was on testing and debugging networked systems. On
the side, I also collaborated with folks in the

Krishnamurthy</a>, and (briefly) <a href="https://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~necula/">George
Necula</a>.
</br>
</br>
In a previous life I studied philosophy and computer science at the
beautiful University of Washington. I spent most
of my time there working on <a href="https://www.cs.washington.edu/research/networking/astronomy/reverse-traceroute.html">Internet measurement</a> and
<a href="https://lifeguard.cs.washington.edu/">outage avoidance</a> with
