I'm currently a university student with a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, working towards a Masters degree in Robotics & Control Systems. Currently, I'm focusing my studies on computer architectures and embedded systems, implementing high-speed image processing algorithms in hardware. For now, I'm just enjoying school, building random little projects, and contributing to this website! :)

Note that if you have any issues or comments for me, don't hesitate to add an @Breakthrough to your comments!
