Planet Nebula: The Personal Website of Jeff Weiner

Welcome!

Hi!  My name is Jeff, and I'm currently a 4th year senior at the University of Michigan studying Computer Science Engineering, along with a minor concentration in Music.  I work at the CAEN Hotline as a student support consultant, where I help other students (not just engineers!) with their university (and even sometimes personal) computer issues, along with performing other small tasks that help the engineering computing environment run smoothly.  I'm also the Senior Course Assistant for Professor Chen's Microprocessors and Music freshman engineering course during the Winter 2010 semester.

I love programming computers, and frequently find myself hacking away at code in either C++, Java or PHP.  I enjoy writing code to learn a new language (or new aspects of an old language), or to solve small problems I run into on a daily basis.  Writing code for class or work is fine (and is obviously necessary), but writing code for yourself or for something you enjoy is far, far better, and it's what I enjoy most.

When I'm not basking in the glow of a computer screen, I can sometimes be found playing a cello, hanging out with friends, or just staring off into space.  While the latter sometimes ends up happening more often than not, it's still one of my favorite ways to kill time, even if it gets nothing done.

As for the future, May 2010 (graduation!) is still a few months off.  Until then, I'm planning on thoroughly enjoying the final semester of my undergraduate education.  In July, I'm going to be moving to Seattle, WA to begin a full time position with Microsoft, on the Internet Explorer team as a developer.  Sometime after that, I'd like to start graduate courses at the University of Washington, though I haven't decided on a graduate focus (or much else, for that matter).  But until then...

But enough of that.  You're here, so why not check out some of the code I've written, or read through my résumé.  Perhaps you'd be interested in some of my photography efforts, however bad or underdeveloped (wahh wahh) they may be?  I'm always trying to put more (meaningful) stuff up here, so check back occasionally to see if there's something new that strikes your fancy!
