Hello! My name is Brandon, 23 years of age, and I grew up and currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have a degree in Neuroscience and a minor in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University and am currently applying to medical school. Basically, I'm a huge brain nerd and would love to share my passion for science and technology with others. 

I have been researching and investing in cryptocurrency since the summer and I was first introduced to Steemit by taking a class created by @jerrybanfield about becoming a Steemit witness. I highly recommend the tutorials he has posted about becoming a witness or even taking his course on www.interestingengineering.com. I stumbled across this site last week and found some great programming courses (Matlab, c++, python, HTML, Swift etc) for anyone interested in increasing their programming proficiency. 

I love to learn and am currently learning multiple programming languages, the math behind machine learning (Linear Algebra, Real and Complex Analysis, Information Theory etc), economics & trading strategies, Spanish & Japanese, and to play the piano. I am interested in learning as much as possible which is another reason why I decided to join the Steemit community. Some of my hobbies and interests include: science, sports, film (any language/any time period), music (any music especially what hip people call "chill"), videos games (just downloaded PUBG for Xbox) and working out. I would love any film and music suggestions and would be happy to share my "top" (read influential) film list. Here is a link to my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/brandon-rogowski (*highly recommend "Friday Afternoon" if you need to relax and just clear your mind). I hope to create some new playlists in the near future. 

Overall, I hope to become a witness and an active member of the community by sharing my knowledge and by soaking up as much information as possible from the community. I look forward to interacting with all of you and appreciate each of you that took the time to read this.
