Other Experience at GM

• Bachelor of Science - Mechanical Engineering
• Projects included Bio-inspired design, Robotics analysis, and a Human Research Study
• Electives included Programming Abstractions, Micro/Nano Electro Mechanical Systems, Thermal Combustion Modeling, Experimental Stress Analysis
• NCAA Division I Scholarship Athlete

• Modern compiled languages (like Go and Rust)
  • I build everything I can in Go. The ease of concurrency, proficiency as a systems language, rich set of libraries, strict packaging system, fast build times, and amazing editor support make it an easy choice
  • I would drop everything to learn Rust. Currently 1/3 through rustlings. The speed makes it amazing for layer-1 web3 apps, compile time gurantees mean fewer bugs in production, and lack of a garbage collector makes it the ideal choice for web assembly libraries like yew
• Unix Systems, See how I build Arch from instructions, and for fun check out my dotfiles
• Data Structures & Algorithms (leet code!)
• Bots (ping discord from Golang | hot springs reservations | ikon reservations)
• Mechanical Design (internship braden boards)
• Embedded Software (olkb planck build & flash)
