Name: Vivek (Vick) Khera, Ph.D.

Wife: Adya V. Maniyar

Kids: 3 girls: ages 10, 8.25, and 4.25

Car: 2008 BMW 328i Convertible

Education: I am a graduated gradual student from the Computer Science Department of Duke University where I received my Ph.D. in 1994. My dissertation project was evaluating performance problems in shared memory multiprocessors.  I received my BS in 1988 from the University of Maryland, College Park, and my High School diploma in 1985 from Richard Montgomery High School, in Rockville, MD. We had our 20-year reunion November 2005... wow!

Work: Currently, I build and operate the MailerMailer email newsletter service using lots of (mostly) freely available technology. Read about some of it on the company's technical blog.

Play: I tend to spend all of my free time playing with my daughters and wife.  On occasion, I get the chance to get in a game of basketball or go biking with my buddies. I rant and rave about things on my personal blog. I don't post very often, though it is not due to lack of ideas.
