About Me

Hi, I'm Eric Ayers from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Welcome to my personal website! This is where I share my thoughts, projects, and experiences.

Intern at an Architectural Firm
Undergrad Research Assistant (multimedia, physics, GTRI)
Teaching Assistant

This diverse background has given me a broad perspective on problem-solving and working with people from all walks of life.
