About Me
I live in Colorado with my wife Christina and our two dogs, Theo and Oakley.
Interests
Photography — I enjoy photography as a creative outlet, finding interest in composition, light, and capturing moments worth keeping. You can browse some of my shots in the Photos section.
Software Development — I like building things with software. This blog runs on Zola, a fast static site generator written in Rust. You can find more of my work on GitHub.
Computational Electromagnetics — My research background is in ray-tracing methods for RF propagation modeling, particularly the Shooting and Bouncing Rays (SBR) technique. I worked on improving accuracy and GPU parallelization of these methods during my time at Colorado State University.
Research
My published work focuses on ray-tracing propagation modeling for antenna and wireless systems. Full author profile on IEEE Xplore.
