My ancestors in Germany were clockmakers. It must be from them that I inherited
a passion for building things that tick and move with precision and reliability. Also,
clocks and watches demonstrate, perhaps better than any other kind of machinery, that
precision and reliability have a lot to do with beauty. This connection is at the center
of my understanding of good engineering.
Another strand of my ancestors were German Pietists. The
Pietists were breakaway Lutherans who thought that the
Lutherans weren't Lutheran enough. Now you know everything
about my work ethics and my sense of responsibility.
In the first part of my career, I was a research mathematician and teacher in academia.
Since 1994, I have been developing mathematical software, mostly in the realm of finance.
Here's my resume, which includes my CV
and my list of publications.
If you want to know more about me as a software engineer, you may also want to check
