About Me

Hello. I am SiegeLord. My real name is trivial to find given the information on this website, so I shall not divulge it here. I graduated from Cornell University, with a B.A. in Biology-Neurobiology. In college I did some research where I model some cells using NEURON. I then completed a PhD in Neuroscience at Brandeis University. These days I am working in the industry, doing machine learning research.

In any event, I like to spend my time painting/composing/programming and thinking. And playing video games.

I consider myself an avid open source software supporter, specifically being a fan of the GPL. I use Kubuntu on my computer for most everything, except for games. I contributed some small bits to some projects, and maintaing a few others such as Allegro.

Online I am present on several forums. Here is the list of the ones I have posted on in the recent years:

I also contributed to some forums in the past:

allegro.cc - a game developers forum associated with the Allegro library, it is now defunct
Science Olympiad Student Center - a forum for students participating in the Science Olympiad. I've disappeared from it
Code::Blocks - a forum associated with Code::Blocks

What does 'SiegeLord' mean? Well, you can read the poem about my little saga here. But basically this nickname came from the name I gave to a prototype ballista I designed and built. It doesn't really mean anything anymore now, since I stopped building catapults... but I keep it so that my deeds of the past remain connected to my deeds of the present and future.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Thanks for visiting my site.
