Computer Programmer, Musician
ASPIRATIONS
I am an aspiring software developer and amateur musician
with a creative spirit and an appetite for self-improvement.
I am interested in learning new programming concepts,
languages, and ideas, as well as artificial intelligence and
predictive algorithms. I am always looking for projects that
will allow me to develop skills in these areas while
maintaining my various interests. My interests outside
software and hardware are vast and include music (playing,
listening, and producing, and across all genres), literature,
and learning about the world and how it works. I enjoy
combining critical thinking with observation and creative
conjecture to better understand the world around me. I
enjoy collaborating as a team, especially on projects that
use software and hardware in progressive, inventive, and
original ways. I am in search of a work environment where
open discussion and personal freedom are valued and coworkers love to share their knowledge and expertise.
