What I do: |
I'm a developer. I use a wide variety of technologies to create and support products used by members of the university community. Mostly, this involves web-centric solutions using new, interesting approaches. |
Education & Background: |
I've spent a lot of time working on both research projects and product development. A lot of this has been related to military simulation and training. |
Presentations: |
I am very interested in education, especially engaging people who may not have liked school and don't go out of their way to learn much. I'm willing to deal with any topic to reach them, but, left to my own devices, focus on astronomy, planetary geology and ancient languages. The way I hope to engage people is to write software so they can explore interesting datasets (e.g., data from probes to Mars, orbiting telescopes, Mayan writing). So far, I haven't been very successful, but I'm still trying. |
