About

I am a systems-level SDE with mathematics and electrical engineering background, passion for rigorous analysis and precise coding in Modern C++ (11/14/17), and a focus on algorithmic correctness, and system performance. I strive to maximize software value by designing maintainable and robust code that actively addresses software entropy and reduces technical debt.

Special Competencies:

  • Mathematical modeling, numerical methods, scientific computation
  • Data architecture, relational data modeling, object-relational mapping
  • Devices, sensors, instruments, firmware, electrical & FPGA design, infrared communications
  • Aspirational: computer vision, machine learning, database internals
