I'm Troy Davis, a Computer Science student at the University of Texas at Austin, interested in software engineering, machine learning, and security.
I'm drawn to projects that make me think creatively and ship practical things. When I'm not coding, I'm usually playing basketball or disc golf, spending time with friends and family, or driving back home to Cypress, Texas.
