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 write as much for myself to keep track of things that I have learnt (or found interesting) as much for you, the reader, in the hopes that you find the content on this site useful and informative.
Articles will be made public on a monthly basis.
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!
