Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Quantitative Trading and the unedited thoughts of a soon-to-be robot

About me

My name is Rod Furlan. I am a Quant, Software Engineer and a Singularity University Alumnus.

I want to build wondrous things that inspire and drive change. I love complicated problems and challenge is what makes me tick.

Everyday I am humbled by the elegant complexity of the universe we live in. The pursuit of truth and knowledge defines who I am.

I am a serial autodidact. When I was 8 years old, I taught myself Z80 assembly on a Sinclair ZX-81 and I haven't stopped learning since. Technology is in my DNA.
