Software developer, applied mathematician, and open-source enthusiast.

I currently port essential unix tools to IBM mainframe computers running z/OS operating system in my capacity as a member of the open-source porting team at Rocket Software.  Before joining my current group, I was an associate professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, where I taught and advised future Naval and Marine Corps officers.  Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Michigan State University, where I developed novel time stepping methods for partial differential equations as a member of the research group of MSU Foundation Professor Andrew Christlieb. I finished my PhD in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Prof. James Rossmanith.

My C.V.. and dissertation are available on this site.
