Nathan Shepard

Bio

I was born and raised in Austin, TX, and I return about four times a year to visit friends and family there. I moved to California last September, and have enjoyed living in San Diego very much. I sail recreationally and competitively on the weekends, and I give sailing lessons in my free time. This past year, I have also enjoyed tutoring high school students on weekday evenings through Eureka! One-on-One Review. I play tennis whenever I get the chance, and I like to swim whenever the tourists aren´t in town. I have maintained a freshwater aquarium for about two years now, and I like it so much I am considering investing in a saltwater tank once I am committed to a career job.

On my own time, I usually like to have a project underway, like building a boat, repairing a TV, working on my car, building a home theater, or running an amateur radio station, for example. Recently, I have been playing with new applications of neural networks, which seem very powerful to be so underutilized.
