About the author
I am the Program Head of Computer Science and Software Innovation at Marlborough School in Los Angeles, where I have taught Math and Computer Science for 11 years.
I am also a software developer with over 25 years of experience writing software in a wide variety of fields, including computer security, computer graphics, and scientific applications. My published academic papers include contributions to the areas of bioinformatics, proteomics, and population genetics.
I am a strong proponent of free and open source software, open public data, and open educational resources. I am also an advocate for increasing the diversity of voices in the STEM fields in general, and in software development in particular.
In the classroom I use free and open source software, open public data, and open educational resources.
