I’m a DC-metro-area-based software designer/developer, IT consultant, perpetual student, and all around nerd.
I’ve worked at IBM, NASA, UMBC, and was even a high school math and science teacher for a while at Annapolis High School.
My current interests revolve around data mining, information visualization, and music information retrieval. In fact, I’m working on a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction, which I hope will allow me to bring all of these interests together…
But I get distracted a lot and end up working on a number of other things. For example, running, graphic design, typography, music, and making countless tiny and relatively meaningless revisions to this website are all things that have probably eaten up inordinate amounts of my time.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to be in touch! I’m always checking email and Twitter, and you can also probably find me most other places online as “egyptiankarim”.
