Other Stuff

Programming

I've been doing octave/matlab scripting for a couple of years now, and have programmed in C last year in my classes (Graduate Level). I've worked with PHP, HTML, CSS, MySQL, Bash, as well as a little javascript (extremely beginner) too.

School

I'm a Graduate Student at George Mason University (GMU) in Fairfax, VA. I'm a Computational Sciences and Informatics major with a concentration in Space Sciences and Astrophysics. Since it is a computational science, I hope to eventually work on coding some MagnetoHydroDynamic Physics Models in hopes to better space weather prediction.

Ubuntu Stuff

I became involved with Ubuntu just after Feisty came out. It's my main OS now both at school and at home.

Code

Help

You can see me idling and helping out in #ubuntu-bugs. I am always helping fellow colleagues in my workplace with linux/ubuntu problems.

Spreading

In my department I have gotten a majority of my colleagues and friends to start using the Ubuntu OS, my advisor and I maintain three network computers that are used by many people through the country as a part of his grant work. I am known through my department as "that guy you go to see if you have a linux/ubuntu problem" and have frequent visits by people who have questions about Ubuntu/Linux.

I am currently in the process of giving my laptop to my mother, and working with her to make the move over from win-blows.

Community Involvement

I'm a member of Ubuntu DC, BugSquad, BugControl, among others. I have been slowly but surely keeping involved in bug triage and assisting the spread of Ubuntu. As stated above, my community is my job and my colleagues and my family and friends, and I spread Ubuntu and help all of them every chance I get.
