Hello and welcome to the personal website of Daniel Stutzbach. I live in Dallas, Texas, and run a small business (Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC).

I recently completed my Ph.D. at Computer & Information Science Department of the University of Oregon. My research focused on measurement studies of peer-to-peer systems. In layman’s terms, I have spent the past 5 years studying Gnutella, Kad, BitTorrent, and things of that nature. One of the greatest challenges I faced was developing accurate measurement tools. Lists of my publications and professional activities are available.

Prior to beginning graduate school, I worked as an senior embedded systems programmer, writing firmware for Internet routers. I earned a reputation as a quick-study, by debugging unfamiliar code and rapidly learning new protocols and programming languages. I previously earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in a whirlwind 3 years.

I grew up in Smithfield, Rhode Island, which at the time was on the boarder between suburban and rural.

My website is organized as a blog. On the one hand, this encourages me to write, but on the other hand it makes it a little chaotic. You may be interested in reading my journal, or you can click one of the other links at the top of the page to visit different sections of my website. Much of the information is regrettably out of date.

In early 2003, I spent time training for the World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition, with teammates James Marr and Carl Howells, after we claimed first place in the Pacific Northwest regional competition. We were the only team to correctly solve all six problems.

In what spare time I can find, I enjoy reading books, tinkering, playing board and cards (especially chess and Texas Hold’em), and Tango.
