A mechanical engineer, sound recordist and computer programmer, Learn your craft and getting recognition. It is while working with computers when I gained some confidence in believing I understood the “Big Picture”

Developing software for Wall Street , I explored many different areas like event driven systems, databases, currency predictions, and neural networks, using them all to solving real world problems and make money for my employer.

Computers gave me an understanding about how our brain functions. My programs were no where near the majesty of human intelligence but the principles are the same.
