I'm a highly motivated Computer Science student studying at Stony Brook University specializing in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. I enjoy challenging myself with problems that others might find frustrating. I have always been inquisitive and want to work on the latest cutting edge technology or research project. If you think these values are critical for your organization, feel free to reach out to me.
• Photography: I love taking photographs of landscape, nature and the nightsky. Check out some of the pictures I have taken on my Instagram!
• Sailing: I recently started sailing with the Stony Brook University's Sailing Club and I am a huge fan now. I absolutely love sailing!
• Sketching: I recently bought a new iPad Air and I have been learning how to sketch on it. So far... I'd say for someone who has never touched a sketch pen before, I am doing pretty decent.
• Video Games: When I am not taking photographs and editing them, not sailing or sketching then I am probably playing video games. It is one of my favourite indoor passtimes.
