About me

Welcome to my personal website!

My name is Pedram Darestani and I am also known as Logan. I enjoy working with data and designing and implementing software that can do what only humans could previously do. This desire led me to obtain two masters degrees:

  • MSc of Data Science

  • MSc of Artificial Intelligence

Combining my academic knowledge with about 4 years of experience as a Software Developer, I posses the right tools and skills to make a change in many environments.
