Mark Brodie

I was born in South Africa and came to the United States of America for my graduate education. I got my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000. I worked at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center in New York before joining Simpson in 2008.

My wife Carolyn and I have one child, Ellen, (who has no interest in computer programming).
