I think that computing is the most important invention in the history of mankind, and there's only one thing that will ever surpass that: Artificial Intelligence.

I believe that leadership, and a salesman-like ability to communicate, is the single most important intangible skill for my career. I believe that this is a strong suit of mine, especially in the field of technology. However, I want to get hands-on experience with how to delegate specific tasks to myself and others, in the pursuit of a common goal.

Secondly, I think that a deep, technical knowledge of the topics in my field (Artificial Intelligence, Computer Networking, Business, etc.) is the single most important tangible aspect of my future career success. I don't love business for the sake of business, but because it's the only way for me to communicate my ideas to the world. Likewise, I don't love computing because of its complexity, but rather in spite of it; as our machines gets more complex over time, the user experience does the opposite. THAT is why I love computing, and especially Artificial Intelligence.

I have knowledge and experience coding in several low and high level programming languages, and feel very comfortable with C++, Python, and Javascript, with some (growing) knowledge of Java, MATLAB, and HTML as well. I’m excited to build complex, time sensitive algorithms in the future for a variety of use cases.

As the president of the University of Alabama AI Club, I am boundlessly passionate about Artificial Intelligence, and I’ve spent the past year building a deep understanding of all areas of AI. I'm currently conducting research at the University of Alabama, implementing various Deep Learning algorithms for medical image segmentation and 3D volume reconstruction. In fact, I'm actually training a new Neural Network for this research as I'm writing this summary. I'm confident that this and my future research at Alabama contribute in no small part to my curiosity, skillset, and general personal improvement that will allow me to make something great, and change the world someday.

Once I have a firm technical grasp and experience of what it means to implement AI in a business, I can then start to formulate my own ideas for a business using similar strategies. While I’m very interested in ML and AI, I’m also hungry to learn about many different forms of engineering, as well as physics, chemistry, etc. I want to be able to implement novel Artificial Neural Networking in these fields.
