I am a computer scientist currently working in medical informatics. My education has been in computer science all the way back.

I have many mathematical interests, including combinatorial enumeration and binomial identities, and these are reflected in my handful of submissions to the OEIS.

If you google for me, I am not a thrash metal punk rocker, a lawyer, a contractor, or a devastating hurricane.

My OEIS opinions on sequences are generally (reserving the right to be inconsistent):

- anything with base 10 is suspect (except when it generalizes to any base), except for base 2.
- I personally don't care for things having to do with primes. Sorry, I just don't care.
- almost always a(0) = 1 for combinatorial things, which includes 0^0.

My favorite sequences:
