Hobbies And Interests
I like learning about AI, machine learning, big data, full-stack development, design, and algorithmic trading. In my free time, I like to read Jane Austen novels, cook Chinese food (especially dumplings), bake, hike, and paint. I have a golden retriever puppy named Scout, and I've trained him how to play dead, speak, shake, spin, and roll over.
