I'm a PhD Student working within the intersection of systems biology, computational biology and bioinformatics.My background is in applied mathematics and engineering.

The majority of my data analysis has been within the Java ecosystem, although I have worked quite a bit in MATLAB. Over the past 10 years I have fiddled around with several other programming languages/environments (e.g. C, C++, Perl, Bash, SQL, PHP etc), but never got around to "master" any one of them. Long time ambition is to overcome my deep hatred of R.

I have a purely casual interest in programming (in particular concurrent programming and HPC), hash functions and random number generators, while my professional interests are within bioinformatics & computational biology, optimization and data-analysis/mining.
