About

Hi, my name is Rafi Barash and I'm a sophomore studying Computer Science with a Math and Management minor at the University of Minnesota. I'm passionate about machine learning, slacklining, and tennis, and I enjoy messing around with web development on the side. This summer I will be interning as a software engineer at UnitedHealth Group.
