I've been building/tweaking computers for the past 30+ years. Knowing my hardware I earned a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Computer Science from the Missouri University of Science & Technology. My focus was on Machine Learning and I do have plans to further my education focusing more on architecture(both CPU and GPU) and Instruction sets/extensions. I would love to become a hardware tester as this equipment is rather expensive, but also because I have a couple of design ideas I would love to put in front The proper people if only to discover why it wouldn't work.
