Welcome

Hello! My name is Neilson Taylor. Explore my portfolio, experiences, and projects on a resume-styled website.

About Me

I’m a physics major at The University of Texas at Austin, where I’m diving deep into the fundamental laws that govern the universe. My background in programming has enhanced my ability to model physical phenomena, and also given me a unique perspective on problem-solving across many disciplines.
