"The more things change, the more they stay the same." Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, 1849

I'm a Senior Data Scientist who has spent the last two years moving deeper into applied AI research and local AI systems. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from Colby College — I took the unconventional route into the world of computer science. Self-taught, I became obsessed with computers from all angles. Many years later, down the rabbit hole, my favorite things to work on are: hardware, AI, bitcoin, local AI, and thinking about brain emulation (ASI/AGI).

When I'm not programming, I'm surfing, reading, and tinkering on hardware builds. Follow along at blog.zacharycangemi.com or at my GitHub.
