Hello World! I’m a recent USC graduate with bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science. I’ve been lucky to work construction jobs in Los Angeles with my cousin Mikey, who is a personal contractor, since my graduation in May 2024. It’s been nice to take a break to work with my hands and learn some practical skills.
Now, I’m excited to start my STEM career, looking for work either as an aspiring actuary or backend software engineer. I’ve always been keen on math, in fact it’s still a dream to get a math PhD and teach/research sometime in the future. But I am focused on developing skills applicable for the current tech landscape, and I’d be grateful for whoever gives me a chance to work hard and gain some industry experience.
I'm working through Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow by Aurélien Géron. It’s a very practical book and I’ll have examples of my own code up here very soon. I plan to have a dedicated sports page for it, where I build out a sports prediction algorithm with the techniques I learn in this book.
I try to stay sharp. Recently finished (+ notes) Thus Spake Zarathustra by Nietzsche, ¾ of the way through Atlas Shrugged by Rand, and just starting Being and Nothingness by Sartre. I also plan to continue to “take classes this semester” (ie. self-study) by following along with the semester’s schedule. Will update with work as Spring 2025 progresses.
