ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

Hello World! I love solving problems learning new skills building products meeting new people going on adventures

I generate new ideas and original concepts, with a willingness to push them forward in a manner so enthusiastic its infectious.
I will learn as much as physically possible, translating each of those skills into a service the world finds useful on a massive scale to create products and fix problems inhibiting individuals from being their best.

INTERESTS

Programming

Programming teaches us how to evaluate complex problems in a systematic fashion, breaking down a mountain of a challenge to smaller tasks in order to reach productive solutions.

Data analytics

Good decision making is data driven, so creating tools to transform a complicated data set into a model that is easy to interpret can help us operate from a uniform knowledge base.

User Experience

In order for good technology to become great, be adopted on a mass scale, and have a profound impact on the world, it is essential that it is presented in an engaging form.

Blockchain

Beyond bitcoin, we can remove intermediaries in value transfer. Implementing blockchain will revolutionize the way information is stored and digital transactions are conducted.
