About Me
Hi, I’m Rob McColl. I’m interested in large-scale web applications, practical applied cryptographic systems, high performance computing architectures, parallel computing, exascale computing, and HPC applications (specifically graph theory apps). I live in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta with my beautiful and intelligent wife Jean (she's the one on the right) and our mischievous little Westie Baxter (he's the one in all the Instagram photos). I like music, movies, TV, photography, programming, games, dogs, the outdoors, and jogging when I get around to it.Subscribe
