Welcome to my profile.
- 🛠️ Early member of The C++ Alliance focused on shipping better tooling for C++ developers. I led the project team for MrDocs, helped bring Boost.URL to Boost, and built the widely used cpp-actions GitHub workflow suite.
- 💻 I also created Matplot++ and keep a growing catalog of open-source experiments—my GitHub profile is open if you want to fork, file issues, or collaborate.
- 🧠 My research dives into multi-objective optimization, Pareto-front data structures, and symbolic evolutionary algorithms in service of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering focused on Computational Intelligence, plus M.S. and B.S. degrees in Computer Science.
✈️ Past life: aircraft engine design at the Rolls-Royce Control & Systems UTC and Marie Curie researcher within the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme, where I introduced the Aggregation Trees method. I’ve published 50+ papers, mentored grad students, and taught C++ from intro classes to doctoral seminars.- 🎶 Side quests include AI-supported, multi-objective approaches to music composition (part of my Ph.D. thesis), plus cooking experiments 👨🍳, guitar jams 🎸, and hanging out with the dog 🦮.
