<h2 className="concentratedHead">About Me</h2>
<p>
I'm Andrew Simonson, a second year (third year standing) student at{" "}
<strong>Rochester Institute of Technology </strong>
in the <b>Computer Science</b> BS program, pursuing a career in data
science with a focus on predictive analytics.
</p>
<p>
When I'm not in class, you can find me working on extra
collaborative projects, building discord bots, playing chess,
reading up on some recent geopolitical development, or haphazardly
expanding my list of unusable, yet bizzarely wise quotes.
</p>
{/* <p>
My goal is to strive to make the biggest positive impact on the
world that I can. I'm here to improve and optimize what we have so
that we can spend more time on the things that matter.
</p>
<p>
I also value the ability to understand the world at large. That
awareness is what grounds a person into reality and gives their
place in the world value. My favorite part of learning about
grographies and cultures is when I can justify to myself the hidden
causality to historic events, which presents an inside look into how
we can act in the present.
</p>
<p>
It is my belief that being able to channel each distinct creative
interest into a final product is vital. With this philosophy that
promotes dedication and enables an in-depth understanding, I can
take pride in each of my projects, bridging the gap between the the
multifaceted purpose present in everything around us.
