My first passion was in the field Applied Mathematics and Chemical Engineering, solving complex problems involving fluid flow. I used these skills for understanding the pollution produced from coal combustion and creating strategies to reduce photo-chemical smog and particulate matter (PM2.5).

I studied Chemical Engineering at M.I.T., Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, and Applied Mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley. In all of these disciplines, the essence of my work was to develop computer programs that solve engineering problems that are represented by coupled sets of partial differential equations. For example, in analysing air pollution over the Los Angeles Air Basis, a grid was created over Southern California, that was 2 kilometer by 2 kilometers squares, with 5 levels in the vertical direction. The computer program solves the mathematical equations for the evolution of gaseous and particulate air pollution at each grid square, from interactions of industrial and vehicular emissions, chemical reactions, and convection between grid cells.

I later branched out to writing computer programs to model the valuation of Fixed-Income Securities (Bonds), and then to work on various projects involving Stock Market and Options Markets Trading Sytems. In 2009, I took my first class in JavaScript, and have since then been working in the field of Web Programming.

Here are some highlights from my career.

• A Scientific Programmer in Energy Research at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA
• A Consultant Programmer in Air Pollution Analysis for the California Air Resource Board
• A Manager of Programmers for the Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto, CA
• A Financial Analytics Programmer for MSCI Barra Inc. in Berkeley, CA
• A Stock Market Trading Software Developer for Cambridge Technology Partners
• An Options Market Trading Software Developer for Cutler Group Hedge Fund
• A Web Developer for various companies. My last position was a Senior Software Engineer at Tremor Video DSP in San Francisco
