Hello, I’m David. I like graph theory, combinatorics and network analysis. I’ve been known to do statistics from time to time. I work as a data scientist and Python developer for a wedding venue. Who knew that was a thing?

I worked in scientific computing during college and grad school, mainly in the fields of mathematics and computational chemistry, and used a lot of C and Java. I also have three years of experience in automation and control of audio/visual/lighting systems with Lua, and am interested in digital signal processing.

When not geeking out, I am busy being a husband and a father and trying to deplete my Jack Russell Terrier’s infinite supply of energy.

Oh… and when I grow up, I want to be the science officer on the U.S.S. Enterprise! 🖖
