I'm an industrial scientist with a background in music, and interest in an odd variety of topics. My alleged professional expertise is in particle accelerator physics, but I have also been a middle school band director, a volatiles analyst, a community college instructor, and a web designer. (Plus, there was that one summer job stocking the salad bar at Giant, or the other one selling tollbooth passes.) I can also claim to have written the most popular software in existence for error checking roller derby statistics.

Things I've made:

• Courant–Snyder parameters
• Template:Infobox particle accelerator
• Ellie Hisama

Things I've dragged up to "Good Article" status:

• Show Boat
• Cyclotron
