About Me

I’m not currently in a job, to do some work on my house. In the near future I am interested in working to enable developers to express complex ideas for software/hardware at a higher level. Right now, I am still active on some open source projects, in particular the LaTeX extension for the Zed editor.

I was recently a PhD student in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh supervised by Prof. Antony Maciocia. My thesis “Criterion for the accumulation of ν-walls”, has passed examination and is pending minor corrections, and will officially be published in due course. For now, the current state of the thesis can be found here. My mathematical research was on the topic of walls on Bridgeland stability conditions for complexes of coherent sheaves on Picard rank 1 surfaces. This is an area of Algebraic Geometry. My main interest was in exposing and visualising computations in this very abstract topic of pure mathematics, whilst heavily optimising the methods for the computations through various mathematical tricks. For those interested in this, see the Pseudowalls page.

In the past I was a software engineer on the compiler team at (formally) Micro Focus (now the AMC division of OpenText Rocket Software ).
