Alexander Berger, B.S.

With a history in Applied Mathematics, I get excited about solving complex problems by utilizing computational resources. My relationship with JAX started when I worked as a Software Quality Assurance Intern in 2014. I then went on to intern with the Computational Sciences group in 2015 (writing actual code!), and was thrilled to accept a full time position in 2016. While python is my native language of choice, I pride myself on my ability to dive in and commit to learning new languages and frameworks. I've also spent some serious time with JavaScript, C++, R, SAS, and MYSQL, as well as markup languages like HTML and LaTeX (I transcribed most of my college notes in LaTeX). My lifelong fascination with computers means that before I even learned to code I had already started delving into the beautiful world of Unix, setting up my computer to run Arch Linux. I now have roughly four years of experience with Unix and Bash, experience I frequently leverage to complete housekeeping and testing tasks quickly and efficiently. If we run into each other outside of work you'll probably find me playing music, bouldering, running, hiking, or exploring.
