I'm a software engineer by day, moonlighting as a karate instructor. My educational background is in computer graphics--specifically with tracking problems--but I spent over nine years working at the intersection of compilers and networking, developing CASE tools for data binding with ASN.1. Lately I've transitioned into a systems test engineering role for a laser metrology company, working with an R&D team to bring new products to market.

As it happens, this has returned me closer to my educational roots and interests, even though my responsibilities have changed from developing enterprise software to developing test suites and infrastructure and applying mathematical models to the problem sets we see on a daily basis.

While my hobbies usually keep me from writing terribly often, this blog is a product of ruminations from work and, occasionally, life.
