Terrapene Capital is the vehicle that will hopefully turn into a small investment fund ran by me, Wyatt Shuler. Here's a little background:

Taught myself how to program around my mid teens.
Received my high school diploma, an Associates Degree, and a certificate in AC/DC Electronics all in 2015.
Started working as a Software Engineer in 2016. Worked various full-time and contracting gigs over the years. Eventually landed at Twitch, where I am still to this day.

Went back to school to an undergraduate degree in Business Administration at Illinois State University. This is where I began working on a personal project that used machine learning models to evaluate publicly traded businesses.

Here are some blog posts:
