I’m a PhD. candidate at Duke university. When I’m not working hard to understand the experimental subtleties of measuring properties of Quantum Chromodynamics, I can be found:
- Maintaining StumpWM, a tiling window manager written in Common Lisp
- Hacking on various personal software projects
- Extending and Hacking Emacs
- Reading anything I can get my hands on, recently though:
- Art of Intrusion - Kevin Mitnick

- Web Application Hacker’s Handbook - Dafydd Stuttard & Marcus Pinto
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
- Count of Monte Cristo - Alexander Dumas

- Brewing Beer, I’ve made:
- Spring Beer
- Northern Brewer’s Phat Tyre

I care deeply about communicating my work clearly, concisely and with good design. To that end I’ve been significantly influenced by:
