I have been enthralled with computers since my earliest years, naturally falling to the allure of video games as many do. When I was ten years old I decided that I wanted to be a part of the development process of the games that I enjoyed, taking to modding as a hobby. I produced various popular content modules on my own throughout high school, but it was not until my time here at SNC that I was able to receive a formal education within the discipline of Computer Science. My passion for what we are taught--and for what I am able to create with these skills--has been a powerful driving force in my life, and I strongly believe that this, along with my creativity, are what create within my work a unique, elegant, design.
Philosophy Statement:
Computer Science means different things to different people; for me, its more than the technology, automation, or project. Yes, I love that in building a program I am able to solve a puzzle, but likewise, I deeply appreciate the art of writing each function and algorithm. In this sense, computer science is like writing a story, and even similar stories are written vastly differently from author-to-author. We are given the opportunity, in each revision, to scrutinize and optimize until only the most elegant product remains. It is herein that I find my greatest satisfaction in this field--in knowing that I have created a meaningful, useful, enjoyable, beautiful product for the benefit of others.

Career Plans:
Before pursuing career plans proper, I must first complete two final courses during the first two summer terms following this semester. Once these are complete I intend to seek employment within a number of various game development companies that I am familiar with.
