I am familiar with many popular programming and scripting languages including C, C++, Java, SQL, Python, and Perl as well as many specialized/niche ones including SAS, MATLAB, Fortran and PHP. I have worked in many areas of computing including technical support, database design, web applications, cryptographic protocols, systems development, engineering simulation on supercomputers, and, most recently, financial applications.My graduate coursework concentrated in numeral analysis and scientific computing with particular applications to supercomputing simulation. I was also awarded three patents related to cryptographic protocol design and implementation.I am currently working in software development specific to algorithmic trading.Specialties: Engineering simulation design and implementationSoftware design and implementation, especially concurrent, distributed, and parallel systemsDatabase design and optimizationLow-level systems implementation specifically compilers and databasesSoftware quality assurance
