Here is a little background

Hey, I am a Software / Machine Learning Engineer currently based in Texas. I am currently wrapping up my M.S. in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning. I absolutely love all things to do with learning, technology, different people, cultures, and cuisine. I also enjoy athletics, coach wrestling, and am a huge NFL fan (Jacksonville Jaguars).
