Welcome!
Hi! My name is Daniel Alemayehu and I am an undergraduate honors student at the University of Colorado, Boulder studying Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. I'm currently a CIRES Junior Data Manager working at NOAA and an undergraduate researcher with the Lladser group working on graph theory and probability. My interests presently reside in computational and mathematical applications in the fields of physics, biology, machine learning, and quantum engineering!
In my previous role as a CU Summer Undergraduate Researcher I explored Safer-Scientific Computation in Rust and explored the future of scientific computation both within Rust and its ecosystem and through Rust FFI interactions with C libraries. In that same role I also presentations with my coworker regarding the applications of Rust in scientific computation. I am also well versed in a variety of other languages like Python and Javascript and a variety of developer tooling like Linux and Git.
In my free time I have a variety of activities I enjoy! I try to stay active with Taekwondo and Snowboarding! I also like engaging with all sorts of media (books, TV, video games, music) and like to reflect on the experiences from playing them by writing and talking about them! I've also recently gotten into blogging as well! Checkout my blog at the top and some personally inspiring blogs down below!
I also have some information about my primary system and my dotfiles are linked here!
