I am a tenured Associate Professor of Mathematics at Colorado State University, now deliberately transitioning into industry roles where rigorous systems thinking and clear technical communication drive decisions.

For over a decade, I have built and organized complex mathematical frameworks across pure and applied domains, often working at a high level of abstraction. My strongest contribution — and what I am now pursuing full-time — is translating intricate technical systems into clear conceptual structures that enable people to reason, decide, and act.

I excel at:

• Clarifying abstract systems and underlying structure
• Translating dense technical material into accessible explanations
• Aligning diverse stakeholders around shared conceptual frameworks
• Writing and speaking with precision and structure

I am not leaving mathematics — I am bringing mathematical thinking into industry.

Example: Making Difficult Ideas Clear

This summer I gave an invited talk at the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI) in Chicago on Möbius homology, based on our recent paper (with Primoz Škraba) in the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society.

The challenge was not just proving results, but organizing abstract ideas so that even those unfamiliar with Möbius inversion could clearly see the underlying structure and why it mattered.

What I’m Seeking

I am exploring roles that sit between technical depth and decision-making, including:

• Technical Program Management (technical track)
• Solutions / Field Engineering
• Technical writing, research communication, or developer education
• AI/ML-adjacent roles involving structured reasoning and explanation
• Government / defense liaison roles

I bring rigorous analytical thinking, systems-level abstraction, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly across technical and nontechnical audiences.
