mark feldman's homepage - now updated for 2006!
For those of you who still haven't seen it, or if you want to see it again, I travelled across the country in the summer of 2004!  I left the Boston area in May and arrived in Berkeley August 7th.  Pictures and narrative from the trip are still up here on the website!  Click on any link below, or start with New York and follow the story all the way through!

Among the highlights of this past year (in chronological order) are lots of ski trips, getting my MS in Industrial Engineering from UC Berkeley, starting a job at Fair Isaac as an Analytics Engineer (that turned out to be short-lived, but only because I developed an alternate career interest - see below) , trips to North Carolina for my cousin's quasi-wedding, Los Angeles, Yosemite and Monterey, and moving to El Cerrito (just north of Berkeley) to live with my girlfriend Laura (who makes many appearances on this website, the first being in the picture below!)
It's January 2006 now, and I've been a Californian for a year and a half - although I miss my Boston-area family and friends, I'm glad I moved out here, and I think the Bay Area is going to be my home for the forseeable future.  There's so much more of it to explore.  I'm always accepting visitors of course.  My latest news is that I'm leaving Fair Isaac and starting a career in Transportation Engineering!  I'll be working for Fehr and Peers Consulting in Walnut Creek, CA (a short BART ride away).  I'll be doing traffic simulations, demand forecasting, environmental impact studies, and lots more.  I'm very excited about it - I'm optimistic that this could finally be the career path that suits me.
