The details of my life are quite inconsequential. — Dr. Evil
Hi, I'm Mike. Google knows me as "Mike Rolish", "Michael Rolish", or "Michael E. Rolish", but I'm not to be confused with my father, also named Michael.
I'm a software developer at the hedge fund HBK Capital Management in the New York City office. Previously, I was a developer for two years at Tower Research Capital, also a hedge fund in the city.
I spent five years at MIT, where I earned bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science in 2005. A long time ago, I grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a nice enough town just outside of Philadelphia, where I attended Cherry Hill Public Schools.
Here's a resume. If I ever have any accomplishments, I'll list them here. As for my future plans, I still entertain the notion of getting a PhD in computer science, but in the meantime I'll take interesting work where I can get it.
My life is largely defined by a number of burning questions. I've also learned a few things along the way.
As far as philosophy, politics, and economics, I consider myself a student of Ludwig von Mises, Ayn Rand, and other proponents of reason and liberty. You can call me a libertarian or classical liberal.
I have a LiveJournal, for now.
If you want to gift me, go to my Amazon wish list.
In any case, best of luck to you in your travels.
