I’m a graphics programmer; I enjoy learning the math behind a domain — how its careful application elegantly solves complex problems. I’m also an open-source contributor passionate about knowledge sharing.

I live in Emacs and love the command-line.

I have enjoyed working on an array of projects. Here’s my CV.
