Speaker bio

I am a programmer with an odd love for maths. I enjoy simplifying heavy math protein into more absorbable amino acids, only to be assimilated into plump biceps of confidence, to be flexed when the situation demands.
I want to infect people with the addictive epiphanies from solving math problems.

and btw, I have been working as a programmer on Data Science projects for the last 6+ years and as a programmer for last 13+ years.
