About
Studying mathematics and physics has given me the unique opportunity to obtain many skills across many disciplines. I began university studying mechanical engineering and physics but switched to study mathematics and physics. I learned to apply my skills to many areas including data science, computer programming, web design, research, finance, machine learning, blockchain and engineering. I am currently a PhD Student at Kansas State University interested in Analytic Number Theory.
