Summary
Leland Reardon is a mathematician and PhD student at UC Santa Cruz with a decade of professional experience blending research, teaching, and full-stack software development in Python, Ruby, and SQL. As a research and teaching assistant he instructs undergraduates in linear algebra and calculus while pursuing mathematical research, and he maintains a wide portfolio of personal coding projects. He co-founded Wigglers, a local vermiculture venture, applying systems thinking to divert organic waste and educate the community—an unusual intersection of rigorous analysis and hands-on sustainability. Passionate about electricity storage and regenerative agriculture, he seeks to channel quantitative skills toward practical climate solutions. Based in California and originally from Philadelphia, he pairs a strong academic record (UC Berkeley B.A., UC Santa Cruz M.A.) with real-world operational experience from both startups and service industry roles.
