About Me edit

I work as a programmer (technically a Test Automation Engineer) for a small contracting company. I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and a certificate in mathematical modeling, but I enjoy learning about a broad range of topics. In my spare time, I run distributed computing projects, and I like doing astronomy when I can.

I have also contributed several prime sieve applications to the PrimeGrid project. (Hence my signature.) I made one application five times faster, and contributed the project's second CUDA application and their first AMD OpenCL application. I guess this also gives me a conflict of interest if I ever edit the PrimeGrid article again, but it's worth it!
