I love soccer to the extent I go out of my way to buy the video games for the sport. It is really fun, exciting, and competitive.

What others say

I have known Henok since 2013 when he took one graduate course from me. The course covered Scientific Data, Databases, and Data Science. He performed well in class work and in group project work. He demonstrated strong computational and database skills in his contributions to the large class project. He does careful, thoughtful work, and is a good team player.
