I'm always looking to advance not just myself, but those around me. I have a bit of a unique style of teaching, but I find that it is important to learn the "why" and not just the "how". I have a particular interest in AI systems and run my own self-hosted lab specifically to work with and learn more about them. In my spare time I enjoy working on personal servers, home automation projects, cars and motorcycles.
