Education
Iowa State University
Computer Engineering
My education has purposely been unfocused, since I'm pretty much infatuated with all aspects of computing. I've designed a MIPS processor, assisted research on human computer interaction and learning, worked with real time operating systems and contraints, programmed a robot to search for and avoid obstacles, and explored pure Computer Science theory.
