*Short version:* Engineer, artist, programmer, mathematician,
|
|
photographer. 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.
