about

Bio

 

My full name is Jeremy Christian Andrus, and I was born in Erie, Pennsylvania. I moved (along with my family) to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1991 where I spent the next 19 years. In 2010 I moved my family to New York City where I am currently working towards a PhD in Computer Science at Columbia University.

Work

 

I was employed as an Electronics Research Engineer at Gentex Corporation for seven years, and during that time was able to visit lots of cool places, work on lots of cool things, and publish several patent applications. I am now employed (extremely) part-time by NVIDIA in the Mobile Computer Vision group.


Personal

 

I met my wife, Amanda, in undergrad and in 2003, after four years of dating, we were married in Wheaton, IL. I am a professing Christian and hold the Apostle’s Creed to be an excellent summary of my core beliefs.

The Rest

 

Some other hobbies include (but are not limited to): Photography, Computers and Computer networking, Embedded Systems. I am a fan, user and hacker of the Linux operating system, especially as packaged by Patrick Volkerding, Debian GNU/Linux, and the Free Software Foundation. I am also an unabashed Apple fanboi whose zealous desire for the next toy is graciously mitigated by Amanda ;-) .


 

For hysterical purposes, I reluctantly allow you to see this, and this.
