I'm a postdoctoral mathematics researcher and professor at Florida State University. I'm looking to leave academia for a job in software engineering, machine learning, data science, or anything where my math skills can be useful.
I have a broad knowledge of math, physics and computer science. I've been programming for most of my life, and regularly use computer experiments in my math work (see examples on my website). These tend to be niche problems, so I often build all algorithms from scratch. I have also worked in the industry a bit before my PhD (building simulation software in C++ and C#).
As a mathematician, I am used to tackling hard problems without established solutions. I enjoy learning new things, and through years of teaching and presenting my research I am also fairly good at communicating complex ideas.
I'm particularly interested in work which has an interesting algorithms or optimization aspect, like high-performance computing, compilers, low-level/embedded programming etc. I also got really interested in machine learning recently, and started reading about and experimenting with it (my math background helps here!). But I'm pretty open-minded, so if you think I could be useful for whatever you're doing, please reach out!
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: no, but can travel occasionally
Technologies: Linux, C/C++, Rust, Python
