# Interests

### Data Science

The field of data science really captured my attention back in 2015. At the moment I’d say I’m more of a data science generalist but am especially intrigued by probabilistic modeling and probabilistic programming languages (à la Stan, Turing, etc.). I’m a bit skeptical of the promise of deep learning but am excited to see innovations like transfer learning, deep probabilistic modeling, neural ODEs, and differentiable programming.

### Programming Languages

I’ve enjoyed programming since my undergrad intro C++ days. Now I spend all of my time in high level languages. Professionally, I use R because of its great package ecosystem. However, I’m a complete fanboy of the Julia Programming Language.

### Classical Guitar

When exhausted by data science and tech I enjoy playing the classical guitar. This guitar was built by Bernardo Romero in San Diego, if you’re interested check out GSI:
