to the fediverse.
My name is John Jolly and I'm currently a graduate student at the #UofU in #SLC. I research #compiler optimizations on sparse tensor data layouts.
I'm also an adjunct professor at #UVU. I teach OS theory and compilers.

Before that I worked 15 years for #wordperfect - #novell - #microfocus.
I'm an amateur #astronomer and love #retro #arcade systems.
