I am an Engineer (BS. Computer Science) who conceives himself as a lifelong learner. I deem that ultimate fulfillment can be secured through Self-actualization. Collective changes in a society or an institution often originate at an individual level. Our sense of individuality is shaped by our impressions, values, and practices–our modus operandi. Since time and energy are limited resources, it is essential that one’s values closely align with the occupation to which they are devoted..that is if they desire meaning, purpose, and relevance. Moreover, I believe that our potential to consistently produce meaningful, quantifiable outcomes whilst navigating the inevitable perils of life is often determined by the state of our mind, body, and spirit (whatever 'spirit' may mean to the reader). As an idealist, and an ascetic I find myself immersed in such persuit of Turth and Knowledge. 

I have been an inveterate practitioner of The Amen Regimen for almost a decade now. I have had the honor to do so under the mentorship of the author himself Dr. Nun Amen-Ra. 

The Amen Age-Inhibition Regimen (AIR) is an evolving multi-volume opus of research on scientifically valid measures to extend maximum lifespan. The protocol has pentavalent nature, consisting of 5 principal parts: Fasting, Nutrition(dietary), Exercise, Educational, and Meditative.

• Fast [IF/CR]: A single nocturnal meal not exceeding an hour in duration and calorically restricted ~1500-1750 kilocalories max. 

• Diet: Thoroughly vegetal (vegan/vegetarian) staples, including agents known to independently increase mammalian lifespan. Non calorific beverages are consumed during the day-long fast. 

• Exercise: Aerobic exercise executed in the morning followed by resistance exercise in the evening. 

• Educational: Intellectual assimilation of AIR and other literature or research.

• Meditative: Interspersed Amnestic meditation (mindfulness) sessions 2-3 times a day.

The self-transformation I have observed in myself and few of my peers in the protocol is unequivocal. In my estimate; the self-discipline, mental acuity, and adaptability I have attained since my adolescent age (19 yo) has but only improved the quality of my existance.

Computer Engineer - Eigen Health LLC, Grass Valley, CA

I serve as an IT & Computer Engineer for a medical equipment manufacturer in California. My role as an engineer involves building, testing, and researching the computer systems integrated into our biopsy equipment. I am also responsible for maintaining and updating software and hardware documentation. Recently, we have been in the process of releasing a new transperineal biopsy system. My specific responsibility was to qualify the CPU temperature thresholds and software performance based on the updated hardware specifications.

In my IT role, I oversee the servers and equipment at our office. While I am not the head of the IT department, I am the sole in-person individual available to address urgent issues. Additionally, I manage a dedicated machine learning station used by developers. With my software background, I am intermittently involved in related development projects.

Flutter App - Juniata College Hackathon, Huntingdon, PA

I participated in our biannual competition while I was in university. I mention this project because it was attempted within a short timeframe, requiring me to develop something over the course of a single weekend. Those long weekends fundamentally changed my perspective on prototyping.

I learned that excessive planning can sometimes hinder progress, and quick iterations often yield better results in fast-paced environments. The experience also provided insight into the importance of uninterrupted focus—block times without distractions are essential for productivity, particularly for my generation.

During my spare time, I have been working on Ben Eater's 6502 Computer Kit. I have always had a some interest in hardware and embedded systems, and this project has been both challenging and rewarding.

The relevance it provides in understanding how components interact with programming languages makes this journey incredibly worthwhile to me. Additionally, the "hands-on" experience of working with breadboards and transistors has been equally gratifying.
