Biography

profile

Hi, I'm JP. I'm a student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham studying computational physics with minors in computer science and mathematics. I reasearch machine learning applications in signal processing and work full time as an intelligence analyst at DarkTower.

As a recipient of the NASA Alabama Space Grant Consortium award, I am graduating with distinguished honors. I have built two web sites from scratch, developed several tools to expedite web scraping, created more than 40 ML models, and tested eleven algorithm benchmarks in four languages. I have a lot of fun solving complex problems and am passionate about building new technologies, particularly for improving our understanding of the world and mitigating our negative impacts.

When I'm not behind a computer screen, I enjoy spending time with my partner, Ruby, walking my dog, Marlowe, singing, playing the guitar, cooking, and learning foreign languages.
