I've always been fascinated by the intersection between human phenomena and computing, specifically in fields of education, financial markets, and creative design. My programming interests are in machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks, cryptography, blockchain infrastructure, market making, simulation and modeling, and quantum computing. Outside of ByteRevel, I co-founded and spent four years working on a software consulting company, Quadral Apps (It's now defunct as the founders have all left). My interests outside of computer science are poverty alleviation, humanitarian engineering, education, financial markets and economics research.

As you can probably guess, some of these accounts won’t work. Not to worry, there is a ranking system based on user feedback that brings the account that worked for most people to the top of the screen.

While you shouldn’t use BugMeNot for things like social networking websites, gaming websites, or shopping websites, it is great for forums, newspaper websites, and Beta web services (that are tough to get accepted in to).

Well, the rest is pretty self-explanatory, so I find myself endlessly jabbering. You check it out here:  http://www.bugmenot.com/
