Dawson Silkenat Email & Phone Number

I enjoy using technology and mathematical reasoning to solve real world issues.In September of 2023 I started at Zühlke as a software engineer. As a recent graduate, I really appreciate Zühlke’s focus on continual personal and professional development. Working at Zühlke also gives me the opportunity to contribute to a wide variety of projects in many fields. I am excited to be collaborating with talented and friendly colleagues all over the world!I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a first-class joint honours degree in Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics. In my computer science courses I focused on machine learning, including neural networks as well as more classical approaches, such as logistic regression, support vector machines, and decision trees. My studies also covered fundamentals such as object orientated programming and software development processes. I also studied data and analysis, formal verification, and automated reasoning. I am proficient in Python, Java, and Haskell. In Mathematics I studied a wide range of topics, including algebra, differential equations, complex variables, and Fourier analysis. Studying both computer science and mathematics has helped me develop my problem solving, creativity and logic.
