Background

About Evan Kirshenbaum

I enjoy taking hard problems, especially in areas I’m unfamiliar with, and coming up with weird ways to solve them. I love both design and implementation—my code is efficient, and my frameworks aim to anticipate what programmers will want and make their lives easier. The bulk of my programming is in C++ and Java, but I have worked with many other languages and pick up new languages readily. I work well both on my own and in small teams, and I’m comfortable proposing my own projects and taking other people’s ideas and making them real. I’m good at finding the holes in other people’s ideas and also at finding ways to make them work. I have a great deal of experience with capturing, evaluating, writing, and defending patents (107 filed, 65 granted). I have substantial experience with lock-free programming, programming language and framework design, machine learning, and evolutionary computation.
