<b>Summary</b>
<p>
<font size=2>
There have been five phases to my mathematical education and
experience. Most recently, I was a lead designer of software for
mathematically modeling prokaryotic organisms as networks of metabolic
reactions at a bioinformatics firm. While working on my dissertation,
I studied the effects of seasonal and climatic variations in
environmental factors on plankton populations in the marine mixed
layer using a periodically-forced nonlinear ordinary differential
equation model. Prior to my dissertation work, I studied boundary
layer meteorology and mixed-layer models of the troposphere and
contributed to the development of a large eddy simulation cloud model.
During a year at the University of Colorado in Denver and during my
first couple of years at the University of Washington, I studied
numerical analysis and performed research on preconditioned conjugate
gradient methods for solving the linear systems that arise from
discretizing elliptical partial differential equations. I began my
graduate career as a pure mathematics student at the University of
Arizona, studying abstract algebra, various types of analysis,
topology, and differential geometry.

<p>
<b>Summary</b>
<p>
<font size=2>
I began programming in 1978 in Basic and Fortran via CRT, teletype,
and punch cards on HP minicomputers and IBM mainframes. Since then, I
have authored or contributed to a wide variety of projects in many
languages on many platforms. The projects have ranged from small
programs in a single language to projects consisting of tens of
thousands of lines of code in multiple languages. I have designed and
written procedural and object-oriented programs, have constructed
graphical user interfaces and animations, and have written or
participated in the development of distributed applications. Most
recently, I played several software development roles at a
bioinformatics company. In this capacity, I was a lead designer of
software for mathematically modeling prokaryotic organisms as networks
of metabolic reactions and maintaining the company's biochemical
pathway collection and a leader of the effort to provide the
infrastructure for using legacy tools and methods for developing and
maintaining the pathway collection.

<b>Summary</b>
<p>
<font size=2>
In late 1995 and early 1996, I helped maintain a network of
workstations and Xterminals for the Applied Mathematics department at
the University of Washington. I became a systems administrator
supporting terabyte-scale Sequent servers for Boeing Information and
Support Services in the Fall of 1996 and became the lead administrator
for a team within the same group at the beginning of 1997. Along with
my duties as a lead administrator, I played an important role in the
certification of three new technologies for use at Boeing and helped
implement the technologies after certification was complete.
<p>
Throughout 2001, I was a primary resource for Linux/UNIX systems
design and support and computer security for a network consisting of
approximately 200 machines at a bioinformatics firm. In this
capacity, I designed and implemented firewalls, was a main designer of
the procedure for automatically reproducing the company's primary
bioinformatic product, and performed all of the routine tasks of a
systems administrator.
<p>
Since the Fall of 1995, I have performed most of my research on Linux
systems that I maintain. I have performed the full spectrum of
administrative tasks and have done considerable software development
under Linux.
<p>
I have maintained several Microsoft Windows systems, from Windows 3.0
through XP. I have developed software under Windows 95 and 98, have
solved problems under Windows, and have performed many hardware and
software installations, updates, and reconfigurations. In particular,
I performed extensive Y2K remediation, prior to January 1, 2000, on
several machines running Windows 95 and 98.

1996, I helped maintain the departmental web server and designed,
constructed, and maintained portions of the departmental web site

<p>
<b>Summary</b>
<p>
<font size=2>
During the first three years of my graduate education, I was
responsible for all aspects of mathematics courses, teaching as many
as 100 students a term. Later, at the University of Washington, I
received high marks from the students and faculty as a teaching
assistant for calculus in the mathematics department and assisted with
most of the graduate and undergraduate level courses taught in the
applied mathematics department. In addition, I assisted with
undergraduate physics labs and ocassionally gave guest lectures at
high schools when I was an undergraduate at the University of
Colorado.
</font>
<p>
<b>Philosophy</b>
<p>
<font size=2>
I believe that the key to effective teaching is to get students to
actively participate in their education inside and outside of the
classroom. The role of the instructor is to enliven the material, to
provide sufficient and appropriate practice, to lead students to ask
the proper questions and guide their search for the answers, and to
identify and help students overcome obstacles to understanding.
