Summary
I seek an opportunity to use my background in math, physical science, and programming to help create things worth creating while earning my daily bread. I’ve worked on a variety of platforms
(Windows, Linux/Unix, VAX), in a variety of languages (C++, C#, Java, Scala, Javascript, Typescript, R, Fortran, Python), with various databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server), and for a variety of tasks (including backend server processes and desktop visualization tools). I like digging in and making things work.
