About me
Let me introduce myself.
A bit about me
My name is Charles Haylock. I am a multidisciplinary student at the University of Connecticut with a passion for emerging technologies (blockchain, IoT, machine learning, etc) and their implementation in business, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Languages, History, Information Technology, and Digital Humanities.
As someone with multiple diverse skills, I like to help individuals and organizations find dynamic solutions to complex problems. I am currently working on learning more about blockchain technology and its business use cases. My aspiration is to join an innovate tech company in a position dealing with either business operations, international business, analytics services, or similar fields.
