Greetings, this is my personal site. It contains my resume/portfolio, personal blog, life story, and other information relevant to who I am.

For starters, Zyreick is my personal pen name and online alias. 

Blog

In my blog, I will be covering any topics that I find interesting, as well as any topics that I research during my time spent obtaining my degrees.

These topics will tend to be focused on technological developments in the artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics industries. However, I am very interested in all things sci-fi related and futuristic, including human augmentation.

Due to most of my interests being centering around AI and technology, I will also likely have posts related to philosophy and psychology, as they are a very large aspect of AI.

What am I doing now?

Currently I am taking a break from the workforce as I have spent the last 8 years as a tool and die builder and I feel that there is not much more for me to learn in that industry that will help me with my goals. I am currently a student at WSU in Wichita, Ks. I am double majoring in Engineering Technology, and Computer Science. I will be contributing to this website. I plan to use it as a showcase of my skills and knowledge, while also sharing information on all the things that I learn on the off chance that it can inspire others.

Goals

I have many very grandiose goals that I am fully aware I will most likely not achieve, that will not stop me from trying however. I personally believe it is vitally important for a person to hold an unobtainable goal that they strive for in order to give themselves something to always work towards in their endeavors. It also helps a great deal with providing a reference point for direction as well as gives our lives meaning.

My main goals in chronological order, are as follows:

Short Term

  • Design AI for teaching or tutoring to supplement or outright replace education
  •  Become a Polymath specializing in the field of AI with a focus on Human Augmentation
  •  Obtain a PhD in both Robotics and AI
  •  Work towards designing AI groups that can operate as teams to accomplish large tasks or projects as a collective

Long Term

  •  Create a stable workforce of AI/Robots that are effectively self-replicating or self-sufficient
  •  Begin deploying AI and robots to tackle massive tasks such as resource extraction and infrastructure development, particularly for in space development
