Bonjour! 👋 I'm PFF, the founder of da Furry Club at Oregon State University 🐾. My sona's name is Anthyboo (🥕 gave me that name in 2020 ish, and I'm like hey that's a cool name 🤩). I'm currently a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering doing AI accelerator research. (I go crazy if anyone says AI is alive—transformers are just fancy matrix multipliers calculating probabilities, that's it. People in the 1980s already knew that 😡. Just look up the Chinese room problem!) I've been at OSU since undergrad 😎 I'm still gen Z tho moi year doesn't start with 19 🤪

You might spot me at cons across the country, from the West Coast to the East Coast (fun fact: my first con was Furnal Equinox in Toronto, Canada 🍁). Feel free to say hi if you see me! 😊 I love talking about tech like Xilinx FPGA, how to build fursuit air conditioners with TECs, and of course, how to get free flights and hotels with credit card points 💳✈️🏨. On campus, if you see a super pink TA, that's probably me 😳. I'm also a graduate research assistant, meaning I get free tuition and get paid to dump it all at cons 💸 (no don't do dat be responsible with ya money lol).
