My name is Martin and this is my website. This page will remain concise and readable. You can find details and artifacts on linked external pages.
Since December of 2024, I have worked for an autonomous vehicle company. My role is to design and implement autonomy algorithms. I read in a Sharepoint document created by the CTO that my job title is "Applied Math / Software", which sounds about right. I am based in Huntsville, AL.
In my wild and misspent youth, I studied mathematics in SLO and Goleta. At Cal Poly (and one summer at Clemson), I focused on combinatorics. Just before UCSB, I went to Brazil. At UCSB, I focused on functional analysis, linear algebra (yes), convex geometry and optimization. My advisor at UCSB was Mihai Putinar.
You can find some of what I wrote here, or on the arXiv.
I grew up in the seaside village of El Granada. In my teens, I worked as a camp counselor, swim instructor and lifeguard. I was good at skateboarding. Despite my hometown's surf culture, I started surfing only in Santa Barbara. In my junior year, my hand-built ceramic figure won the Surreal Creature Contest.
The name "reamstack" means nothing to me and I think it sounds macho or something. Nope! It refers to a stack of stacks of white printer paper, my constant companion for more than three decades.
