I am currently a PhD student in Computer Science at Pace University in New York. My PhD thesis is in Quantum Computing. I am also a Assistant Adjunct Professor teaching at Pace University's Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems in both the Computer Science Department and the Information Technology Department. Prior to this, I obtained my Master's Degree in Computer Science in May 2015. I also established Manhattan Programmers LLC in May 2014, and there I work on mobile apps and websites. Prior to that, I served a full career in the U.S. Army in multiple locations and jobs, but most of my time was spent in computer security work.
