-#### The snake of Theseus
+#### A journey into Regular Expressions
-Pablo was the keynote speaker for Saturday of this conference.  
+I am a Particle Physicist-turned-Data Analyst with over a decade of teaching experience.   
-His presentation was focusing on how the language itself has changed over time, so much so that the original code has all been replaced.  
+I have written curricula for various topics including Python for Children, The Basics of Python, Intermediate Python, and Data Science for Beginners.   
-Yet it is still Python.   
+I provide individual and group classes on all of these topics as well as maths, science, and standardized test prep.   
-Even with Countless contributors over the years Python has changed, yet remained the same.  
+I am currently based in France, but I especially enjoy traveling as much as possible and discovering different cultures and languages.   
-Different syntax, personalities and methodologies have contributed to shaping the language to what it is today and inspiring it forwards into the future.
