Welcome!
Hi there, and welcome to my blog! I’m so excited you’re here. My name is Michael Castady, and I’m a rising senior at the Illinois Institute of Technology, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. As I head into my final year, I’ve decided to document my experiences, reflections, and insights from my journey in one of the most rapidly evolving and impactful fields of our time—AI. From my first steps into machine learning and neural networks to tackling real-world problems through projects, my path has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I’ve had the opportunity to explore topics like computer vision, natural language processing, ethical AI, and robotics, all while collaborating with brilliant peers and mentors. Through this blog, I want to share: Whether you’re an aspiring AI student, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about the future of artificial intelligence, I hope you’ll find something here that inspires or informs you. Thanks for stopping by—and welcome to the journe...
