Peter Goldsborough
I'm Peter and technically a second year CS student at TU Munich. Practically, I'm a first year student who decided to do a gap year and join the workforce. Since last August I've been doing engineering internships: first Google, then Bloomberg, now Facebook. I currently physically reside in London but really live on GitHub, where I enjoy giving back to and working with the community on a variety of projects. My comfort zone is the intersection of blue skies machine learning research and low-level infrastructure engineering in modern C++.
