<p>I am a self-employed financial software developer, who started as an electrical engineer and computer scientist.  As I learned more about finance (M.S. Finance expected in May, 2015), I learned more about statistics.</p>

<p>I have found that I am very intrigued by statistics, and I have a tendency to apply statistical software (like R) in unorthodox ways including image compression and heuristic meta optimization.</p>
