I'm a senior software engineer at Apple, where I design and create custom software.

Formally, I was a research engineer and software developer at the Neuroscience Research Institute and in the Physics Department at the University of California at Santa Barbara. There, I contributed to a number of projects as a member of Paul Hansma's Lab and Kenneth Kosik's Lab.
