Hi, my name is Michael LeGore
I am a Software developer and DJ currently based out of Seattle, WA. I believe technology can be used to empower the under-served. My biggest interests in tech are peer to peer networks, crypto-currencies, computer security, machine learning (particularly for DJ music recommender systems). In my spare time I love to play some Witcher 3 or Overwatch, or have some friends over to play Catan.
