Objective
I am currently open to a wide variety of work having to do with math, physics, computer science, research and/or education. I am especially interested in category theory (and topology and type theory) applied in data science (or computing in general), scientific computing, mathematical software, artificial intelligence (especially deep learning), research in the aforementioned subjects (especially in topological quantum computation and quantum gravity), teaching, and educational software, videos, and/or video games (and possibly more that I have not considered). I am also especially interesting in startups, as I intend to start up many of my own. My main short term goal in education is to bring versatile and innovative approaches to the classroom from having conducted mathematically challenging research in very different fields and from my experience with different learning styles (and how to study with and teach them), in which CS3LD played a big role. My main long term goal regarding education is to develop technologies, guided by my teaching experience, that will make math, physics, computer science, and logic more accessible to those that are intimidated. An aspect of my objective that helps keep the rest at peak is my deep commitment to lead by example and give hope to others who suffer unfortunate situations (as I grew up disabled, low income, first generation) they were born into.
