About

Hello there! My name is Mazay Jiménez Salinas and I am a computer scientist based in Seattle. I am a software craftsman in my spare time and I am also interested in mathematics and computer science connected to algorithms. My interest include data structures, computational and discrete geometry. In the past I’ve been interested in image and multi-dimensional signal processing, wavelets and compressive sampling.
