  • Biography
    I received a Bachelor of Science in both Robotics Engineering and Electrical/Computer Engineering, and a Master of Science in Robotics Engineering. I'm a robot guy.

    My work in Robotics has primarily been focused on assistive technologies, and has won multiple awards, including one from Intel's annual Cornell Cup USA. Going forward with my Master's degree I may continue down that path, but I'm not entirely sure yet.

    I currently work in robotics and large-scale computing infrastructure, primarily for robotic warehouses. If you've ever purchased something from Amazon, you're welcome.

    I didn't know anything about building computers before I started watching Linus's videos. When interviewing at Intel I didn't know what a PCI-E bus was or what SATA was. Once I stopped Rowing to focus on school, I also started learning about computers to pass my free time. I started watching Linus's videos religiously, watching older ones over and over to learn all the details possible. In July 2013 I finally got to put my knowledge into action, designing a workstation for a friend and a small server for myself. Both systems were successful and both of us were satisfied.
