I'm a perpetual learner and outcome-driven engineer. I have a wide variety of experience which includes distributed systems, build tools, web frameworks and more. I’m adept at both individual contributions and leading technical teams including other managers. I have a proven track record of delivering impactful solutions across complex technical domains.

The lrslib library is a reverse search algorithm for vertex enumeration and convex hull problems. I adapted the synchronous lrslib library to take advantage of multiple processors and cores. The application was developed in C++ and made use of the free boost library. The source code is available here. Results from this research were published in Combinatorial Optimization and Applications.

I wrote functional specifications for multiple projects including a prototype which allowed for the display of various coupon advertisements within the paid search workflow of Bing.

The app provided an internet streaming radio service, offering a simple way for people to share and discover music and playlists. The app had over 50,000 downloads with a 4.5 star rating.
April 2010 - September 2010
I helped design a framework for harnessing the computing power of humans to solve Multiple Sequence Alignment problems. The application front-end was developed in Flash ActionScript 3 while the back-end used Java and MySql. The application is maintained here. The results were published in PLoS ONE.
