Statement
I am a visualizing and computational mathematician. My primary love is programming in the field of Numerical Algebraic Geometry. I became fascinated with 3D printing after a surprising revelation that a program I was writing could be used to produce models. I've continued to enhance my software, so I can make 2D line art, and visualize arbitrary nonlinear projections of n-dimensional algebraic curves and surfaces, as well as arbitrary functions evaluated over those same objects. I find mathematics, particularly computational algebraic geometry, fascinating and am passionate about visualizing it.
