My name is Ryan Holmes. I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my wife Rupali.

Work

I am a software developer with a small startup company in Scottsdale. I have also recently worked part-time as a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University, co-teaching a senior-level class in computer graphics (CSE470) for the 2003-2004 school year.

School

I am currently a graduate student at Arizona State University, where I am working on my Doctorate in Computer Science, with a specialization in computer graphics. I earned my M.S. in Computer Science with a specialization in computer graphics in the spring of 2003, and my B.S. in C.S. from ASU in the spring of 2001, graduating summa cum laude. Before I came to ASU I attended the Maricopa Community Colleges. I ended up having fun there, and I have an Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Usage and Technology, an Associate of Arts, and an Associate of General Studies from Rio Salado Community College.

Personality

Although I don't believe that astrology defines and determines your life, I think the astrological personality types are interesting, and accurate enough in my case to be amusing. In Chinese Astrology, I am a Snake. (More descriptions can be found here and here.) In Western Astrology, I am a Gemini.
