Hi, I'm Chris Covington, and I'm still in high school. I live in Charlottesville, Virginia. I'm an avid Gentoo user and I'd love to become a serious open source contributor.

The writings of Isaac Asimov have inspired me to learn about AI. I'd like to study cognitive science in college or perhaps just get a degree in computer science and take a bunch of psychology and game theory classes along the way.

I code in Java for school (AP Computer Science AB). I learned the basics of programming C using the DOS version of Turbo C at my high school and towards the end of that year began to learn the language changes that have taken place since the 1990s and have some experience with the modern standards thanks to dev-c++ and the mingw compiler. I've done some website work, including php and mysql over the years, but I just haven't had enough time or enough of the right motivation to truly realize any of my project ideas.
