About Me

Technical Leader / Senior Developer, always interested in the latest trends and research efforts in computer science, biomedical engineering & security research, with over 9 years of experience in both designing and programming across a variety of platforms. I'm a perfectionist with a strong passion for neuroscience, biomedical engineering, clean code, great software, space exploration, and astronomy. I like to break things, find new ways to break things, solve problems, put things under test and stress, and have my mind blown by an interesting question.
