The next decade of technological advancement will bear witness to an
explosion in the pervasiveness of computing devices. This will require
evolution in the way those devices devices integrate with our daily
lives. It is my goal to develop intelligent systems to help improve our
daily lives and processes. I believe my experience in software
engineering and my keen sense for interface design, data analysis, and
entrepreneurial spirit will be great aids in the pursuit of these goals.
It is when we are lost that we fall back upon our experiences to guide
us. Education forms the fundamental building blocks that we use to
express our experiences. So, when new problems arise we often fall back
upon our education to solve them. My goal is to be able to analyze a
wide breadth of technical knowledge to better diagnose and resolve
problems. I believe a basic understanding of hardware and software, high
level and low level, forms a stable platform from which to conduct
further research, whereas a narrow view often limits insight and
creativity. I also believe a basic understanding of business is
indispensable in spotting opportunities.
