I am a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati -- I graduated in June 2011 with a bachelor's of science with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics and a minor in German Studies .

My technical interests include cryptology (especially algebraic cryptanalysis), mathematical logic, computational algebraic geometry, compiler theory and satisfiability theory.

I have a breadth of experience ranging from customer service and quality assurance to cryptographic research and documentation. In 2010 I spent 6 months living and working in Germany. I can comfortably use most (if not all) common programming languages and love a challenge, technical or otherwise.

Anywhere I go, I am a very keen LaTeX-er; I have run workshops on the system and use LaTeX for all of my document-creation purposes: personal, scholarly, and professional.

Other hobbies include knitting (I assist in the running of i love life i love you), cooking, and drinking coffee.
