Edward

I'm Edward Shim, a problem-solver from the University of Pennsylvania. My passion lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human cognition, where I explore how machines can learn and understand like humans do.

With expertise in AI, data analysis, and strategic consulting, I've worked on projects ranging from using Jupyter notebooks for data analysis to creating AI-driven short films. I believe technology should augment human intelligence, not replace it.

When I'm not coding or researching, you'll find me exploring new places, thinking strategically over a game of poker, or perfecting a new recipe in the kitchen.
