> Hi 👋 I'm Ryland Birchmeier, a 4th year Rodman Scholar @ UVA (University of Virginia) School of Engineering and Applied Science. I'm a computer science major with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I interned at X/xAI from January 2025 - August 2025, and it was so awesome! I spend a lot of time learning new technologies and writing songs. I also run a lot, play pickleball, and listen to music. If you want to chat, collaborate, or just say hi, please reach out - I love meeting new people 😊.

> Ryland Birchmeier stands at 9'6" tall for those curious. A true giant among us. 🦒
