A little about me
Helping out at Brighton Beach after hurricane Sandy, 2012
I'm a 23 year old currently living and working in New York City. I graduated from Purdue University in 2011, and now work for a large financial media company in Manhattan as a software developer.
At Purdue I studied aerospace engineering, and worked on several aerospace projects, including a rocket engine powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen, and a couple high altitude balloon launches. Some of those projects you will find in my project portfolio. While at Purdue I also started dabbling in foreign exchange trading, and started investigating automating forex trading. I'm still investigating the field while I write software at work relating to municipal bonds.

Websites I frequent
Parabolic Arc - A blog on all things space related, from government to commercial
RussianSpaceWeb - A site detailing many aspects of the former Soviet space program as well as the present and past activities of the Russian program.
NASAspaceflight - A news site and forum with extremely detailed coverage of NASA activities, with some focus on other nation's and company's activities as well.
Buran.ru - An amazing historical trove of information about the Soviet space shuttle, Buran. There's an English site, but unfortunately it doesn't have nearly as much information as the Russian site.
lpre.de - Russian website about the history and development of various (Russian) liquid propellant rocket engines.
Ars Technica - An online journal covering a wide range of topics, although all of them have some sort of connection to science and/or technology. The writing quality is very good and the breadth of articles is excellent as well. I highly recommend this to anyone technically inclined.
xkcd - A comic strip for technically inclined people. I imagine just about everyone reading Ars Technica loves this strip.
