+## My research:
+I am currently studying decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of $b$ quarks using the CMS detector. I am also working on developing an
+analysis facility at UW-Madison to facilitate large-scale and interactive physics analyses.
+
+## My expertise is:
+building data analysis tools in Python.
+
+## A problem I'm grappling with:
+Integrating technologies like HTCondor, Dask, columnar analysis, and containerization in an accessible and user-friendly way.
+
+## I've got my eyes on:
+optimizing my code with parallelization and vectorization.
+
+## I want to know more about:
+how to make statistical analyses more computationally efficient and robust.
