About
I am a Software Engineer with a B.S. Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder who is currently employed at a private start-up. I enjoy reading and writing about topics in Computer Science and Mathematics- in particular, subjects on programming languages, software engineering, information visualization, number theory and combinatorics.
I publish articles on a monthly basis covering topics that I usually spend about a month researching, developing and documenting. These articles represent work that I do in my limited free time and serve as a portfolio of my work and interests. I publish articles in the hope that they help you in your own research or for your own enjoyment.
I’ve read bits on your blog about radial trees and sunburst diagrams. I really like you sunburst diagram and was considering using it to display an odd data set — the dynamic capacity of a network, or networked components. maybe not as a monitoring utility, but more along the lines of displaying related capacity growth requirements. And perhaps answer the question : Relatively, how complex is an environment given the ‘moving parts’ of each group. That is .. if I can make the data fit into a coherent tree :)
I have been paging through examples online :

caught my eye.
Regardless in your blog post :

and

I really like the layout. I’d like to tinker with what you have if that would be at all possible. Or, perhaps I can work with you to extend it ?
Let me know. Thanks!

Neat blog! I’m enjoying a lot of the articles here, and the focus on graphical representations of data.
