+## My research:
+Parametrization of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering Form Factors via Neural Networks (NNs) by training on global DVCS data.
+
+## My expertise is:
+Proton mechanical property studies via Generalized Parton Distributions, Hadron Spectroscopy, and Machine Learning.
+
+## A problem I'm grappling with:
+Developing NN training in a C++ package efficiently and following computing best practices.
+
+## I've got my eyes on:
+Improving my knowledge and skills in high energy physics computing.
+
+## I want to know more about:
+Parallel programming and ML/AI applications in high energy physics.
