Welcome to my page! I am a Physicist and Quantum Information Scientist that adamantly believes in the mission of Wikipedia and joined in an effort to deliberately contribute.

If you have any questions, or need any help and think I can contribute to your project in any way, please feel free to contact me or stop by my talk page and leave me a message.

My Personal Wikipedia Mission statement

My goal in contributing Wikipedia is guided by the following 2 principles:

1. Increase the breadth of topics covered based on my own personal interests (see below).
2. Increase the depth of articles covered based on my person expertise as a practicing physicist.

1. Sample list of personal interests

My non professional interests include a variety of subjects, but I tend to be most passionate about:

• Free and open source software or 'FOSS'
• Programming
• Technology in general
• Web based and/or social media technologies
• Generally all things nerdy

2. Professional expertise

I am a practicing Physicist in the field of Quantum Information Science with a background in AMO physics. As a result of my profession I have an above average level of expertise in the Physical sciences and Mathematics, can understand and interact on a professional level in all areas of Physics and am most knowledgeable in the areas of Quantum Physics (especially as it relates to Quantum Information), Optics, as well as a number of more specific related fields.

If there is any Wikipedia topics that you think I may be able to help expand or improve, let me know and I will do everything I can to help.
