I am a software engineer who is interested in robotics, computer vision, and AI. I self taught myself C++ at 14 years old through introductory programming books. I scored my first internship with a local engineering firm the following summer. I stayed at that company throughout high school and all of university, balancing fulltime school and fulltime work near the end. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Communication in 2021. Throughout my career and schooling, I've paid particular interest to robotics and autonomous driving technology. I am the third oldest of 11 children, and the tallest Burtell. On my free time I like to garden, read, bike, camp, and play video games.
