Christopher Ashworth [chris@figure53.com] is a software engineer and researcher living in Baltimore, Maryland. He has had one foot stuck firmly in both computer science and theatre most of his life, but made it official when he graduated from Carleton College with a double major in both fields in 2002. His subsequent work took him to New Mexico as an actor and to Kentucky as an apprentice at Actor's Theatre of Louisville. He cashed his ticket to unredeemable geekdom in 2005 when he completed his master's degree in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
