One might see me as just a geek, a CS major, or that guy with an ethnically-ambiguous name. It`s hard for just a few words to describe me, as I`m constantly reinventing myself. I`ve actually chosen to study Computer Science because of its incredible ability to adapt to whatever interests I choose to pursue. While tech certainly can transform how we interact with the world, I believe the true magic lies at the convergence of technology and our quest for meaning. I love learning, sharing what I have and motivating others to actualize their potential. Sometimes I`ll tell people our lives are just one big machine learning algorithm. I say it jokingly, but I believe the best way we can contribute to the world is by becoming our best selves. Failure is a necessity, but -- if we take a hint from reinforcement learning -- we can use what we learn from those experiences to do better in the future and revel in the success that indefatigable persistence guarantees. ©
