I am a software developer living in Los Altos, California and occasionally surfing in Capitola Beach. I am a volunteer adult mentor for Valkyrie Robotics, a 501c3 educational nonprofit organization, where I wrote a geometric motion planner for their car-like robot. I am also working on a python program for converting speech to text using the Google and IBM Watson speech-to-text cloud APIs. This project is ongoing and is very much a labor of love.
