Hello, my name is Daniel. From a young age, my interests have typically revolved round computers, such as but not limited to: computer hardware, computer programming, science fiction (primarily literature, but also movies), and computer games. My major is in Electrical Engineering, specifically with a focus on (yes, you guessed it) computers. I also work in OSU's Math Department's IT department where I often lead the student workers in various programming projects as needed by the department. In addition to programming both for my academic career as well as in my current employment, I code as a hobby as well. I am best known for a novel operating system I am working on called "Bedrock Linux". The exact details of what makes this worthwhile can be a bit technical, but a simple explanation would be that it attempts to borrow the best aspects of similar projects in a transparent manner. I am an active member of OSU's Open Source Club, a club based around a specific computer-focused philosophy/movement.
My top favorite books (in no specific order) are:
- Dune, by Frank Herbert
- A Deepness in the Sky, by Vernor Vinge
- Anathem, by Neal Stephenson
- The Silmarillion, by JRR Tolkien
- Grendel, by John Gardner
Lastly, a photo of me at a videogame tournament can be found below. I am in the middleground, just behind the individual with the earring in the foreground. I case anyone is curious, I am happy to say I secured third place, ensuring OSU students took the top three spots.
