About Me

Educational

I attended Swarthmore College, majoring in computer science with a minor in mathematics. While at Swarthmore I worked in the Mary Lyons breakfast room, was active in SPC, and did after-school tutoring. I sometimes wonder how he managed, but I lived with the amazing Miles Skorpen all four years.

I've also finished an MBA at The Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University with concentrations in marketing and organizational behavior.

If you're considering attending either institution please reach out as I'm happy to share thoughts on both (favorite classes and professors, good eats in the area, cultural trends at each school, et alia).

Professional

After graduating from Swarthmore I spent a year at PTC working with the awesome MathCad team on the WPF user interface rewrite while joking that we were breaking the rules. =)

I jumped at a chance to at Constitution Medical, now part of Roche Diagnostics, a startup developing a new automatic CBC machine. At CMI I focused on red blood cell morphology, though had the wonderful opportunity to work on a variety of projects and tools.

During business school I interned at Google in gTech's Publishers and Solutions group.

Technical

I've worked with a variety of languages in different paradigms including C and C++, C#, F#, Python, Java, bash, and SQL. I've also dabbled with php, OCaml, Haskell, SPSS, SAS, and R, though I can't claim fluency with any in this group.

I have a solid grasp of linear algebra and statistics, especially those used in classification tasks and machine learning.

For those that care, I prefer vim to emacs. This disqualifies me from being a real programmer.

I was lead developer on the l1j-en project, an open-source server emulator for Lineage, for most of 2011-2013. My commits dropped after starting business school, but others have picked it up!

Personal

When not working I enjoy reading, running, ceramics, board games, tinkering on my piano, cooking, and aikido.
