Hello, I'm system administrator for Molecular Graphics Laboratory and Lead Developer on Python Molecular Viewer. I'm in charge of a number of Linux, Mac and Windows computers and servers including 96 node Dell PowerEdge cluster called
ark. I'm also administrator of the following resources:

user support for MGLTools. The following is a partial list of features
that I have implemented so far:
- Standalone installers for Linux/Unix, Mac OS X and Windows.
- Volume Rendering Widget (IsoSurfaces, Orthogonal Slices, 3D Textures).
- Graphics User Interface (GUI) design for Adaptive Poisson Boltzmann Solver.
- Macromolecular Crystallographic Information (mmCIF) and AVS field binary data (FLD) parsers.
- Web Services GUI for AutoDock and APBS.
- PyMedia and GLF integration with MGLTools (inception).
- Nucleic acid secondary structure rendering.
- Splash screen, Update Manager, File → Recent Files and Read → Molecule From Web.
