Bonal Samreth is Director of IT for The UCLA Family Commons. He has managed multiple IT initiatives for various research studies and programs, with a focus on adapting cloud computing and open source platforms, such as this Drupal site, for effective implementation. On the weekends, you’ll find Bonal tinkering with ideas among friends, or finding his swing at the driving range or batting cage. And every evening, Bonal struggles to avoid another night of takeout by finding the time to shop for and heat up a decent, five-minute dish from Trader Joe’s.
