About Me

My name is Jonah. I live in Cape Town, South Africa.

Circa 2010, I decided to take a high school programming course. Within a week I became my families expert in all matters computer and had a hobby that’s difficult to explain at bars.

Today I’m enrolled in the Computer Science Honours program at the University of Cape Town. Before that I was an intern at Amazon Web Services in Cape Town in a team called Kumo.

I have a bunch of interests that are related to

• Statically typed functional programming languages
• Lisp + Scheme + SICP
• Applications of the Futumura projection
• Evolutionary computing
• Machine learning
• Reinforcement learning
• Stochastic processes
• Algorithms + Data structures
• Distributed Computing

Other honourable mentions

• Surfing
• Rock climbing
• Procrastinating on a scify short story

On a more abstract level, I’m seeking a both broad and fundamental understanding of the art and sorcery of computing.
