About Me
Hello there! My name is Christopher Ho, but you can call me Chris.
Since I was in high school, I've always loved tackling challenging problems, from qualifying for the USA Math Olympiad as a freshman, to interning at NASA going into my senior year.
As a Texas CSB student at the University of Texas at Austin, I have further cultivated this passion through exploring the fields of machine learning, software development and computational finance.
In my free time, I enjoy travel photography, giving swim lessons, discovering new obscure music genres, and running half-marathons.
Projects
Here are a few things that I've worked on in the past...
