About Me
I am not what you were expecting... my background is far different than the average boilerplate you are accustomed to.
Dual Bachelors degrees in both Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering; research experience in electro-mechanical systems; practiced in the dark arts of Linux, Python, web design, and Cryptography; possessing an uncommon creativity; experience/fascination with machine learning; and a unique approach to problem solving.
