Devin Gray
Montana State University
Masters Student, Computer Science

My name is Devin Gray. I am currently working towards a Masters degree in Computer Science. I work full time as an Application Engineer at RightNow Technologies here in Bozeman, Montana. Due to this, I am taking the courses only track on a part time basis: one class per semester. At this pace I expect to graduate in the Spring of 2013.
