I am a software engineer at Mozilla and ex-Physics faculty member with 20+ years of programming experience in a variety of languages and platforms. Highlights of my academic career include publishing nearly 20 peer-reviewed papers on topics ranging from computational statistics to computer science, supervising a team of post-doctoral researchers, and securing a faculty position immediately after graduate school.
I left academia to build awesome software.
I have founded and developed Feedlooks.com, a modern RSS and Twitter aggregator that served tens of millions of articles to thousands of users. In the process, I have learned and adopted battle-tested startup methodologies from others. I am experienced in rapid application development and cloud deployment, having set up full web stacks at Amazon AWS, Linode, Rackspace, and Heroku.
From academia, I bring 10+ years of quantitative experience, including statistical and machine learning methods.
I also have a keen interest in meeting and working with nice people. So go ahead, drop me a line and say 'hi'!
I live in Washington, DC with my beautiful fiancee.
