Also: Comp Sci masters student at Georgia Tech, and +freelancer for hire. + +*Longer version:* I've been using computers to create things since I +realized that this was possible. I had the good fortune to have a +computer at age 6 and an older brother who taught me to use MS-DOS, +and showed me [POV-Ray](http://www.povray.org/), NeoPaint, and BASIC. +This, combined with video games like Doom, drove my early interest in +graphics, 3D rendering, and programming. + +This progressed to an interest in mathematics, algorithms, and +programming language theory. I also got a digital camera in late +2003, and added photography to that list. Since then, I've been +fascinated with the use of algorithms that create and transform +images - for the sake of visualizing data, creating art, image +processing, and computer vision. (The use of algorithms for creating +and transforming sound also fascinated me, and I read and dabbled +extensively here, but my utter ineptitude at music put a damper on +this.) + +I studied electrical engineering at University of Cincinnati, and am +now studying for a masters in computer science (specializing in +machine learning) at Georgia Tech. Right now, I'm freelancing in the +area of electronics and embedded software, but open to other areas: +software development, photography, rendering, computer vision, +computational photography, machine learning. + +Here are some links to other profiles of mine: + +- [My résumé](../assets/resume.pdf) - [GitHub (hodapp87)](https://github.com/hodapp87) - [Flickr (hodapple)](https://www.flickr.com/photos/hodapple/) +- [Twitter (\@hodapp87)](https://twitter.com/Hodapp87) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-hodapp-0440959?trk=hp-identity-photo) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/hodappcm) - [HaskellEmbedded](https://haskellembedded.github.io/), a site I co-founded and contribute to -- [Twitter (\@hodapp87)](https://twitter.com/Hodapp87) -- Resume?
