About Me

Philosophy Statement

If I was asked what my major in college would be in high school, I would have guessed a million majors before guessing computer science and math. I never had a special interest in computers as a kid and thought math was boring. Although I swore I would never take any extra math classes after high school, I discovered that I was naturally more talented in math and logic than in other subjects. During the summer going into senior year of high school my Uncle Chris (current software engineer) recommended that I try computer science. I figured it couldn’t hurt to take one class. Once I did I became very interested in the idea of building something from nothing. I thought it was intriguing to create a product from many lines of words. I found purpose in solving complex problems, which in turn provided me with the tools to solve other problems not related to computers. Is programming a superpower? (Yes it is!) I see myself pursuing a full-stack experience to begin with in order to gain as much hands-on experience as possible. I believe that I will gravitate towards working with data structures and back-end programming vs front end design.
