paul ivanov’s random remarks

I am a member of the Jupyter Steering Council and a senior software engineer at Bloomberg working on IPython and Jupyter related open source stuff. I’m also an instructor for Software Carpentry.

Previously I was at Disqus working on backend and data engineering stuff. Before that, I was a code monkey at the Brain Imaging Center at UC Berkeley, working on IPython and also teaching at UC Berkeley Python bootcamps. Before that, I was a grad student (PhD ABD) in the Vision Science program at UC Berkeley. and a member of Bruno Olshausen’s lab at the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. I graduated in Fall 2005 from UC Davis with a degree in Computer Science.

For more details, see about me.
