I am currently a Masters student at the University of Calgary, in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. I am looking for remote work in an environment that appreciates well designed and written code. My work to date has been in the Medical Imaging industry. My most significant contribution is neurosurgical planning software that is used by the Clinical Neuroscience team at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, for planning electrode placements in deep brain structures.

I am very interested in exploring functional programming, and thus have been playing with Clojure and Clojurescript.

I am always interested in improving my skills and learning new ones, and I am looking for a work environment that shares my interest of continuous improvement and exploration.

    I've been using Meteor for sideprojects to learn Javascript. While I like the ecosystem and meteor itself, I have found it hard (as someone new to Javascript itself) to learn "best…

    Very small thing, but there is a space missing after the period in the tagline: "..string of events.Timeline weaves those.." Otherwise looks awesome!
