COLLOQUIUM- "What a long, strange trip it's been. What happens when you say yes to the next weird thing a lot"

Prof Pat Miller has been on a long strange trip from college dropout to sought after
senior computer scientist/engineer across many disciplines. Along the way, he's tried
his hand at nuclear weapon design, compiler/debugger design, computational finance,
computational biology, computational robotics, massive backends, and blockchain
analytics. For hobbies, he dabbled in teaching (middle school to Consulting Professor
at Stanford), distance cycling, interior firefighting , and flying. He was just
following his Mom's advice to have an interesting life. Each job gave him a deeper

insight into how applied computation really works (and added to his vast corporate T-
shirt collection). He'll be sharing pearls of wisdom from each step on that path.
