In a little more detail...

Hello world, I am a software engineer supporting the calibration and validation of Joint Polar Satellite System algorithms from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. I am also taking undergraduate computer science courses at UMD, likely in preparation to study artificial intelligence with leanings towards machine learning and game theory.

Prior to my relatively recent career in software, I was a condensed matter physicist at UCSD, earning a Materials Science M.S. there in 2007, and an Engineering Physics B.S. at Cornell University before that in 2006.
