I'm Gabriel Natenshon, and I love learning, teaching, and all things tech. I value perseverance as a personality trait and I'm always up for a challenge.
I've published many personal projects on GitHub, providing learning tools for my direct students and other interested individuals. I'm passionate about helping people achieve their hardware and software goals through technical assistance.
When I'm not studying or exploring the world, I'm researching various programming languages, learning about the latest tech advancements, and teaching others how to code.
