About me:     I am Ryan Curtin, an Electrical Engineering Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech. I consistently take courseloads much too great to retain sanity, but I somehow still find time to enjoy myself (but not enough). To finance my education, I worked as a sysadmin in the School of Math, a primarily Linux-based department. Once, I worked as a TA for the ECE Professional Practice class (ECE4001), where I likely made many enemies because of my grading style. These days, I work for Dr. David Anderson's research group and FASTlab under Dr. Alexander Gray, doing machine learning and signal processing work.     In my little free time, I enjoy electronics, computers, explosions, violence, danger, and high velocities. Recent times have seen me get involved in ProCup Karting and the Georgia Sprint Karting Association, and develop habits of reading about F1 history on Wikipedia and other sources.     This site exists to detail my projects and undertakings in electronics. Some are for classes, some are just plain bizarre, and some are extremely awesome.     As an unfortunate consequence of being an Electrical Engineering student, the only thing I can write is technical documents. As a result, most of the projects I detail here are written in a similar manner.     Some of you may be wondering why there is a red robot in the upper left hand corner. May I present to you my Halloween costume in 2005: Nothing else needs be said.
