My name is Jeremy Nickurak. I've recently completed my M.Sc in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, where I've been working with Paul Lu's Trellis High-performance and meta computing research group. My chief areas of research interest are filesystem and resource access in a distributed/cluster context, especially where involving virtualization.

Since then, I've been working as a software developer on EMC's Vplex high-availability storage solution.

My resume is available, and I'll give proper consideration to anyone with a suggestion.

I have a blog and and a facebook, although they're generally not all that updated, unless you're authorized to access them. (They contain many updates to my ongoing research interests and projects)

I've created a set of tileable backgrounds, that are simple and (to me) fairly interesting to look at, without being overly distracting. They're useful as a desktop background or as a web page background, and are available for public domain use.

If you're interested in getting in touch with me, you can email me at my-first-name@my-last-name.ca (slightly obfuscated to prevent spam bots from seeing it). You can also reach me at the same address on Jabber/XMPP/GoogleChat

You can also reach me by voice. Look up a local PSTN phone number at http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/pstnNumbers, dial it, and then dial  (or just dial that number without the *559 if you feel like it...
