Biography:

I am a mathematician (PhD from SUNY Albany) who is now looking for work in computer programming. I especially like the mix of linear algebra and computer software found in computer graphics, but I'm willing to do work in other things as well.

I have professional experience using Perl, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, etc. in web development; as a student I've used C++ and Java; in personal projects I've used Forth, Assembler, and Python. I'm currently learning Haskell and Common Lisp, and, while I'd be willing to use any language, I'd be especially exited if I could use Python, Haskell or Lisp!

I'm also interested in both digital and analog robotics (I like "dual quaternions"; they have applications in both robotics and computer graphics), technical writing, and being a security guard (especially if I get to use the flame thrower).

I am also interested in part-time work! I'm currently working part-time for EV Source in Logan; working part-time for others will make it easier for me to continue work with EV Source.
