Can Erol
Hello, I am Can (pronounced "John"). I study a mix of mathematics, physics, and computer science at Yale.
I am interested in all frontier technology, with a specific interest in robotics.
I love having conversations on many things; please feel free to reach out! I am on LinkedIn, but a DM on X is the best way to get in touch.
