Interests & Reads

During my time in undergrad studying Computer Science and Mathematics at Metropolitan State University of Denver and then Northern Arizona University, allowed me to be introduced to a number subjects that caught my interest. Not only topics related to Computer Science and Mathematics but also Physics, Electrical Engineering, Statistics and the infinite blend of these fields. For anyone interested in diving deeper into some of the topics I have developed interests and passion for during my time in undergrad feel free to checkout the section below. Attached are some of my personal github repos demonstrating these topics as well as my favorite books and additional material that I use frequently.
