| What I do: |
| I am a Developer and Information Systems Architect. Much of my time is spent developing and maintaining web-based collaboration tools. I also investigate emerging technologies, evolve internal processes and increase coordination with other technical teams at Tufts. My goal is to be part of a very productive team noted for its contribution to the university. |
| Education & Background: |
| B.S Computer Science, Loyola College Currently enrolled in M.S. in Computer Science at Tufts |
| Presentations: |
| I am very interested in education, especially engaging people who may not have liked school and don’t go out of their way to learn much. I’m willing to deal with any topic to reach them, but, left to my own devices, focus on astronomy, planetary geology and ancient languages. The way I hope to engage people is to write software so they can explore interesting datasets (e.g., data from probes to Mars, orbiting telescopes, Mayan writing). So far, I haven’t been very successful, but I’m still trying. |
