What's one of your favorite Georgia Tech memories? I absolutely loved the Animal Centered Computing class I took. Natural language processing and machine learning are already topics I'm passionate about and I've loved animals since I was a kid. Spending a semester reading about animal language and using machine learning to classify separation anxiety in dog vocalizations? It was amazing. Also, petting kangaroos while studying abroad in Australia was pretty chill.

What's one of your favorite Georgia Tech memories? I joined OMSCS before my daughter was born by a semester, my goal is to finish when she is aware and I can show her daddy earning a degree as a good childhood memory so one day she can find an idol to follow her dreams in the future and may be get a similar degree from GT, as well. A good coincidence is that Hana is turning 4 on the same day of the commencement party on May 6. Delayed a little but luckily 4 is a good age to stamp the memory in her mind :)
