Hi! My name is Anthony Vo. I love problem solving and learning new things, and I'm always searching for opportunities to improve myself. I'm currently in the University of Chicago's M.S. in Financial Mathematics program where I am to learn more about high performance computing, low-level programming, and advanced machine learning methods. I am also a graduate of the University of California, Irvine where I studied Computer Science and Quantitative Economics. I've previously worked at Covet Health, Roblox, and Viasat along with doing freelance jobs as a full-stack web developer and tutor.


In my spare time, I like to play guitar, basketball, and strategy games. I also write for fun; you can see some of my writing samples in the "Work" section.


My current favorite pieces of media are the Kagerou Project (which inspired the design of this website; see this scene from Yuukei Yesterday), the To The Moon series, and the Zero Escape series. I'm currently (re)reading Moby Dick.


Thanks for getting to know me a little better. I hope you enjoy my website!
