Hello, my name is Robert S.W. Carroll (robswc). I'm a full-stack developer with a focus on backend, based in Austin, Texas.

I'm currently working on creating resources for quantitative trading and developing systems at Shenandoah Research, Polyad Decision Sciences and a new startup, Buildaible. I enjoy all things computer science and hope to eventually push the boundaries within the field.

Some of my open source projectshosted on github.

Over the years I have worked on a few different research and writing projects. I find writing to be one of the best ways of organizing thoughts and communicating ideas.

I've tried to consolidate my writing down to just two places - The Last Bit and Daemon Logs.

Please enjoy and reach out if you have any questions or comments!
