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.
For the past few years I've been working in New York City as a software developer in the finance industry. Currently I'm on the quant desk at Volant Trading, and prior to that I was at HBK and Tower Research Capital. Here's a resume, and here's my LinkedIn page.
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.
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, but like many others it has fallen dormant.
If you want to gift me, go to my Amazon wish list.
In any case, best of luck to you in your travels.
I think this one sums me up nicely.
