I am driven by a desire to create optimal and elegant solutions to complex problems. With over 8 years of professional programming experience I strive for robust and efficient algorithms and well-structured code, guided by best practices and creativity. My experience spans a diverse range of fields such as process control, computational fluid dynamics, embedded systems and data science and an equally divers range of industries, including medical biotechnology, refrigeration, energy generation and chemical processing. My work is generally done with free and open source software on Linux based operating systems. I am constantly expanding my knowledge of computer science, specifically distributed systems, encryption, machine learning and functional programming.
