Joseph Brennan
Senior Technical Consultant at Wolfram Research.
About Me
For two years, I have worked for the technical consulting department of Wolfram Research.
My background in astrophysics allows me to effectively solve complex problems and deliver high-quality results. I also conduct training and webinars showcasing the capabilities of Wolfram products.
I am also an educator, a productivity tool tinkerer, and a calisthenics athlete.
