About me
Hi!
I’m Joe Auricchio, a student at UC San Diego. I’m studying for my Masters degree in CS, specializing in computer architecture, with an eye toward embedded systems and operating systems and a few furtive glances at security. I’m working with Professors Steven Swanson and Michael Taylor on microarchitectural issues of a new chip.
I work primarily in processor/digital logic design and embedded systems programming. In the past I’ve done web application programming and general sysadmin. I’m currently at ViaSat working with security-related embedded systems.
I enjoy listening to music of many kinds on high-quality headphones.
I like rock climbing. I still don’t have much of a rack: just some quickdraws and a cordelette. My next purchase will be a rope. After that I’ll learn how to place trad gear. I’m at 5.10A level; maybe 10B on a good day. I usually climb at Vertical Hold. I like Big Rock (Perris) and Joshua Tree.
