Programming

Though I am most familiar with Python, which I often used for work, I have dipped my toes into many other programming languages over the years both for work and for personal interests, namely: Python, JavaScript, C/C++, Rust, MATLAB, to name a few.

Projects that I've worked on include: Large quantity content generation with OpenAI API (python/JS), Topological Data Analysis with giotto-tda (python), OS fundamentals: UNIX shell/memory-allocators/file-system (C).

I am currently teaching myself Rust through the use of The Rust Programming Language, 2nd Edition book, and rustlings exercises.
