Profile: https://flows.cv/samcherna

I am a resourceful engineer and inquisitive scientist, passionate about solving complex challenges in scientific computing. I strive to make a high impact in advancing technology and improving people's lives. I create real-time, high-performance data processing systems, by leveraging my breadth of knowledge across algorithms, computer architecture, numerical methods, and software optimization. I design and model algorithms in a high-level programming language, before implementing the design on FPGAs, GPUs, or embedded SoCs. I specialize in signal processing and imaging, but am constantly learning new domains and new technologies.

Languages: Python (w/ NumPy + Cython), System Verilog, C/C++, Matlab, Haskell, Rust 
Interests: Signal Processing, Information Theory, Optimization Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning, Compilers, Functional Programming, Feedback Control and Nonlinear Dynamics, Embedded Electronics, Audio Processing and Music Analysis
