Hello! My name is Nathan Costa. I'm a junior at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth majoring in computer science. I'm pursuing my master's degree in computer science as a part of my school's accelerated 5-year BS/MS program. I don't have any experience in repairing things, but I'm interested to learn about repairing consumer electronics!

Image 1: Internship at Naval Undersea Warfare Center

This is a picture of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, where I interned at last summer. I got to meet a lot of people and learned a lot about software development. While I didn't get any hands-on experience with repairing anything, I certainly met a lot of mechanical engineers whose job was to repair what broke on the torpedoes during the test runs.

Image 2: Fake Review Detection Project

This is a screenshot of a project that I am currently working on. The project is using machine learning to detect fake movie reviews. By collecting different bits of information about the review, we can separate the reviews into different groups (called clusters) and using this we can try to determine fake reviews from real reviews.
