Graduated this past Spring with a dual bachelor of science in Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering (woo!).

Entering graduate studies in the Fall (at time of writing) to pursue a PhD in Cognitive Science, specifically in the field of AI dialogue and storytelling agents. If anyone asks, it's a bunch of psychology, algorithmic design, virtual/robotic agent design, and natural language processing mushed together into what may tentatively be considered a scientific field.

I read stories here to affirm the notion that humans are better writers than machines. And they are.

p.s., feel free to p.m. me about anything. Rumor has it I'm a real person who doesn't mind talking.

The following is personal information you should never disclose on the internet.

Age: 22

Gender: M

Location: Upstate New York, United States

Greatest Fear(s): Spiders, large insects, and the knowledge that I am a minute jumble of matter in an infinite, ever-expanding universe.

Greatest Weakness: Actual physical weakness. Literally you could mug me any time of the day with little effort or risk of injury.

Favorite Past-times: Videogames, A capella, boardgames, Dungeons & Dragons (Pathfinder), watching cartoons, watching/talking through movies with friends, going on road-trips with more than one car involved, playing ukulele poorly, standing coins on their sides, and drinking hard apple cider (but that sort of goes with everything).
