Hi, I'm Ryan Venturi, a full-time entrepreneur and senior majoring in Creative Technology and Design at the University of Colorado Boulder. I'm experienced in most modern technologies, from coding, design, CAD, arduinos, Jetson's, and everything in between. When I am not in school I am building modern AI solutions for companies or working on my robot JWM1. I love building and learning new skills and you can often find me geeking out on new subjects, especially this weeks subject which is the Nvidia Omniverse
