Mechanical engineer, with a background in computational software (thermal sciences and fluid mechanics). I love to program for the sciences in C++, Java, and Android. Also somewhat familiar with Python. Familiar with technologies such as Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CAD), MatLab, XML, JSON, and HDF5. Strong background in Mathematics and Statistics. Roles I have fulfilled have been as developer and designer, verification/validation (V&V), and in defining requirements (requirements gathering). I am in the process of writing my 1st book on Android Development. I am a practical tinkerer at heart. I cross boundaries between the theoretical and practical engineering applications. ©
