📍 I'm based in Los Angeles, CA. Back in the day I graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Digital Signal Processing. When I'm not working on my computer ... I'm most likely still on my computer learning new things on Youtube, working on personal software & hardware projects, or making music. I also enjoy cooking and hanging out with my cat, Chi Chi (there she is on the right).
