My Background / About Me
I am a student at Vanderbilt University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, as part of a 3+1 master's program that will also earn me a Master’s degree in Computer Science. My interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, physics, and software engineering, focusing on how these fields can be applied to solve real-world problems in various domains.
I am passionate about technology and finance, blending the two through various projects and research. I have experience in software development, quantum physics and advanced math research, and machine learning applications across different fields, aiming to contribute to the evolving landscape of technology and finance through my work and collaborations.
Outside of academics and professional interests, I am an avid poker player, golf enthusiast, and a fan of Formula 1 racing. I enjoy watching soccer and exploring the latest trends in cryptocurrency. In my free time, I delve into quantum mechanics and keep up with advancements in machine learning.
I also really enjoy reading. Currently, I am reading "The Man in the Iron Mask," "The Canterbury Tales," and "Bulfinch's Mythology." Some of my favorite books include "The Idiot," "Blood Meridian," "The Secret History," "No Country for Old Men," "Hyperion," "Red Rising," "Whatever it Takes," "Vicious," "Notes from the Underground," and "White Nights."
