Rachel Grey's Business Page
I am a mechanical engineer turned
software engineer; designing mechanical things and designing software surprisingly similar. I got my master's degree from MIT in the spring of
1999, worked for
Charles River Analytics for 5 years, then ProfitLogic until it was acquired by Oracle, and now I'm with a little web-based startup called Google.

My first company messed up an order of business cards and gave me the box of cards anyway. Pretty cool the things you find when you search for "business card origami"... |
Some of these were published under the name Rachel Cunningham and some under Rachel Grey. Don't be fooled by the name change, it's all me.

I received my MS and BS in mechanical engineering from MIT
in June of 1999, holding a 5.0 academic record through grad school
(4.6 undergrad). My thesis focused on the automated control of two cooling systems that I spent the previous two years helping to design at Los Alamos National Lab. After that I went tailspinning off into software and have indulged in some continuing education related to that.
Did I mention I accidentally became a personal trainer too?
