I enjoy bridging the gap between science or mathematics research, and high quality software development. I am a mathematician by training, and I bring the precision and thoroughness of a mathematical mind to software. I also believe in a very human aspect of software --- in order to be useful, a computer program must have a friendly and intuitive user interface. This is especially true of web-based software, where the user may be almost anyone and anywhere, in the world.

I bring science and math to life on computers, turning scientific exploration and discovery into robust, working systems that help people understand and communicate ideas about how the world works.

My recent projects involve interactive web mapping applications, processing and display of weather data for tracking long-term climate change, and hyperbolic geometry. For more details of these projects and others, see my portfolio page. For more details on my experience, see my resume.
