I’m a Software Engineer at Vannevar Labs. I live in San Francisco. For 5 years I was a Submarine Officer in the US Navy. Before that, I was a Trident Scholar in Mathematics at the US Naval Academy. This is my personal website.

When I was in the Navy, I wished for these applications, so after I left I built them.

I like to write, especially about math, coding, and the outdoors. Take a look at some of my articles here.

I did a lot of math work at the Naval Academy. You can read about it here. The main topic of my research is the stability of mathematical swarm models.
