Who am I?
I am a software engineer by day, artist and musician by night, and forever a student.
A Brief History
Started as a hobbyist game developer and web designer back in my high-school years, landed my first full-time engineering job on Long Island, New York upon completing my bachelor degree at SUNY Old Westbury in Computer Science.
After gaining professional experience, I decided to pursue further challenges and became a grad student at Georgia Tech to explore the field of artificial intelligence, especially machine learning and robotics.
