Maths Software I have used a strong working knowledge of a variety of mathematics software in both research and teaching contexts. These include GeoGebra, Sage, Polymake, and GAP, among others.

Programs I have experience writing programs and scripts in a variety of programming languages. These include Haskell, Clojure (and other Lisps), Scala, Python, Rust, and Gleam.

TikZ LaTeX is invaluable for typesetting. I am adept at the use of TikZ for creating figures in these documents.
