Sanaz Ahari’s Summary

I tend to gravitate towards V1 projects, having shipped Microsoft's first music download services, the start.com incubation project, the V1 release of Live.com AJAX homepage and now driving new V1 initiatives in Live Search.

My expertise spans front-end and back-end and am equally passionate about building great user experience as well as engineering algorithms and heuristics.

Some of my publications and appearances, include:
2004, Utilizing the Uncertainty of Intrusion Detection to Strengthen Security for Ad Hoc Networks (link: http://www.springerlink.com/content/bc4d7xy9bfn7ex4j/)

2005, Channel 9 Interview on Start.com
