I love learning about programming paradigms, particularly Functional Programming.
- Along with that, I love learning the math behind it. Type theory and category theory are enjoyable. :)
I maintain a small number of Ruby Gems.
I created (and very badly need to re-create in another language some day) http://da.gd/ and the "framework" that powers it.
I sometimes contribute to Facebook's Phabricator project in my spare time.

I am a part-time student, currently majoring in CS at Youngstown State University.

- I am the former Vice President for ACM at UAkron.
I am a founder of The SYN/HAK Hackerspace in Akron, Ohio.
I am learning Guitar in my free time.
I am learning calligraphy in my free time.
I play the keyboard for fun. I'm not good at it.
I enjoy photography - I shoot Pentax.
