My career in mathematics has definitely taken me to heights that I never dreamed were possible when I started at Marist College. My original major was computer science but I realized I was just as good at math as computer science, so I decided to go for a dual major. Four years later I graduated with honors and had earned a free scholarship and teaching assistantship at Syracuse University. After two very challenging, and at times difficult years there, I completed my MS in numerical analysis in the summer of 1997. Later that summer I started working for IBM in Fishkill, NY as an assistant Webmaster. I'll admit it helped having a degree in computer science as well as math, but IBM hires a lot of pure math majors, in fact a couple of my co-workers on my current project were also math majors in school.
After a year in Fishkill, I found an opening on the Olympic Internet Team as a Java developer for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games website in Hawthorne, NY. Using my analytical training, I have to come up with ways to query databases full of statistics from different sports and present them on a web page in a clear and concise way, keeping in mind that not all users are going to be experts in the sport I am coding.
