About Me

(in about 261 words)

Intro

I am an Oregon State and Penn State alumnus, where I studied computer science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. My research revolves meta-science and large-language model capabilities. In my spare time, I enjoy video games, learning, teaching, fitness, and the outdoors. As a recent graduate from Penn State with a Masters in Informatics, I am seeking an artificial intelligence/machine learning engineering position or a software engineering position adjacent to AI/ML. Generally speaking, if my work contributes towards the improvement of the human condition in some fashion, I will love what I do. If you feel the need to reach out, please do not hesitate; it is no bother to me.
