  • Motto: Small, Fast, Correct, Complete, Secure
  • agile/extreme, team, or sole contributor
  • curious, self-motivated, meticulous
  • physics, computer science, market analytics
  • problem solving and algorithm development
  • unit testing, code coverage, wiki, doxygen
  • zero bug policy

Methods:

  • C/C++, Python, ASM, STL, boost, bash
  • table/data driven solutions
  • distributed computing
  • data movement, data ingest, lexers
  • signal processing and feature detection
  • lattice/mesh convolution/correlation

My personal goal is to answer Cajal's three questions about nervous systems (ISBN 0-19-507401-7 Histology of the Nervous System): "Practitioners will only be able to claim that a valid explanation of a histological observation has been provided if three questions can be answered satisfactorily: what is the functional role of the arrangement in the animal; what mechanisms underlie this function; and what sequence of chemical and mechanical events during evolution and development gave rise to these mechanisms." Santiago Ramón y Cajal

"If it does not change everything, why waste your time doing the study."
