Keith is currently a systems analyst for BAE Systems in Advanced Information Technologies formerly known as Alphatech. He is also an instructor for the Computer Science department of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). He is teaching CS 3733 Software Engineering the summer of 2005. Courses previously taught include Web Ware which deals with the issues and mechanics of building web based applications and dynamic web sites. Kapow, a web site generation system built by Keith, dynamically generates all the pages on this site.

Keith's most recent research efforts are in data modeling and automated user interface generation. He has created a novel data model and user interface technology which is being promoted by WPI. This work was inspired by a successful six month project with the MA Norfolk County Sheriff's Office for which he was awarded a Geo. I. Alden Fellowship in 2002. During 2003-2004 Keith served a one year appointment as a research engineer at WPI's Bioengineering Institute.

Keith earned his Master of Science degree in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2004. His Master's thesis topic was mining temporal association rules from complex temporal sequence data. The system built for his thesis, ASAS, has been in use by many other research projects at WPI since 2002.

He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in CS also from WPI, graduating with High Distinction in 1998. As an undergraduate Keith's main areas of study were artificial intelligence, computer vision, and software engineering. After completing his BS Keith worked as a performance analyst and computer scientist for EMC Corporation until 2002 when he returned to WPI as a full time graduate student.

Keith has served as President of the WPI 1998 Class Board of Directors since 1998, as President of the Mass Alpha Chapter of UPE (Upsilon Pi Epsilon, an internationally recognized computer honor society) 2002-2004 and Vice-President in 1998, as President of the Worcester Area ACM Chapter (Association for Computing Machinery) 1996-1999, and as Vice-President of the WPI Social Committee 1997-1998 administrating a $200K+ campus programming fund.
