About Me

   Being a student for most of my life, I've always been interested in learning. Whether it may be from understanding the concepts of renal physiology to performing aldol condensation reactions or even TCP/IP protocol, I push myself to further my expertise in a wide variety of subject matter. After all, this encyclopedia-like nature has helped me quickly solve problems which otherwise would have been an absolute impossibility. My endeavours have been used in teaching fellow students, in real estate, and most recently in academia.
