I'm a Software Engineer working in Pittsburgh, PA. I obtained my Ph.D. in 2007 working on algorithms and software for medical image analysis. I'm currently a Software Engineer at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), an Adjunct Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and an avid software developer and technologist on the side.

Interests include scalable web applications, real-time applications, big data, and software architecture. I've been working a lot in Python/Django and Node.js lately, with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis behind.

I also run a software blog, and have some side projects.
