Corey Matyas
I am a technology generalist with particular experience in full-stack website development and highly-parallel numerical simulation. I've worked with everything from transistors to 1024-core simulations of quantum optics. I'm passionate about building things for people to use and learning as much about the world as I can.
What I'm Doing Now (as of 2019-03-24)
- Working on a big side project (details forthcoming).
- Improving knowledge of Go web backends, data structures, algorithms, native mobile development.
- Enjoying cycling season before Louisiana hits 100°F.
Work
- 2016–2019
- Used C to develop parallelized numerical simulation software for HPC clusters using MPI. Notable project: designed and implemented an algorithm for multi-layer nanophotonic structure optimization and design: Poster (PDF)
- 2013–2016
-
Worked full-time some summers doing full-stack webdev (JSP backend).
Major contributions included developing interactive frontend components
and database refactoring (converted table with 100M+ records to EAV for
a 98% size reduction, no downtime needed).
Also freelanced webdev, web design, and internet marketing services for local small businesses. - 2008–2013
- Taught myself to code using BlitzBasic. Quickly progressed to webdev (HTML/CSS/JS, PHP backends, SQL databases). Then learned Java to do desktop applications. Dabbled in Python. Built a compute cluster in my closet.
- Academic Accolades
- Barry Goldwater Scholar (2018), Stamps Scholar (2016)
