About Cars Chandler

I devote myself. Whether it be to my career, my faith, my wife, academics, or music, devotion to my passions is an integral part of who I am. I do not consider a task complete until it reaches a degree of excellence that distinguishes it from the average and reflects that I worked diligently on it. I take pride in this work ethic; it has led me to graduate with a 4.0 GPA from Auburn as the Student Marshal of the College of Engineering, excel in my responsibilities at work, and knock down several A+ semesters of my Master\'s in Computer Engineering at Purdue. I have certainly failed along the way, but considering the combination of my self-driven resolve with my hunger for learning and my strong communicative and interpersonal skills, I firmly believe I will make a valuable contribution to any business I am fortunate enough to be a part of.I\'m very excited and fortunate to be studying topics in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Purdue for my M.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering. Learning always has and always will be one of my greatest joys: I\'m the guy next to you in line that\'s reading documentation for a new programming language to pass the time. In a world where technology develops so rapidly, especially in the AI/ML field, constantly being at the bleeding edge and having to learn something new each day is a certainty, but I embrace that reality and see great opportunities in it.Relevant Skills: • Python • Data Science • AI/ML (studying currently) • Reinforcement Learning • Linux / GNU Tools • Git • MATLAB • SOLIDWORKS / Fusion 360 • PCB Design (Altium, Eagle, KiCad) • Java • Rust • C++ • HTML/CSS/JavaScript • Embedded Electronics (Arduino, Teensy, QT Py) • Excel & other Office Applications
