Ryan Filgas

As a former architecture and editorial photographer turned engineer, I bring the same creativity and analytical problem solving to computer science as I did to the arts. My primary focuses professionally are on building knowledge in the fields of software engineering and machine learning while working on personal projects. Away from the usual chaos I spend time with my family and dog in addition to making art.
