About my interests...

Why I am choosing my major...

I am majoring in Computer Science because of my great interest in the study of computers and their processes.

Growing up with technology...

As a child, I always enjoyed tinkering with devices such as my parent's TVs or phones. During this time, smartphones were just being introduced, so the idea of having a screen in your hands was relatively new, therefore it allowed me to almost grow with the technology in a way. I would help family members fix technical issues on their phones and show them new features. I received a tablet at a young age, I was monitored of course, but this technology was something new and great. I would play games, watch videos, research cool topics, and connect with distant family members & friends; it was like a new world. I took pride in updating my device and apps because keeping everything up to date made me feel like I was in charge. In 2017, I had a vast knowledge of computers, to the point where I was ready to build one. I had done much research about the process of building a computer, and I knew it was time to start. I used my saved up money to buy all the parts and I couldn't wait for the delivery day. When they finally came, my dad let me take control of the whole project, assembling the parts and downloading the required software. The immense joy I had when I started it for the first time was unbelievable. The fact that I had built a computer with my own hands was something I couldn't fathom at first. If I was already on the fence about a future career, this experience took me right over. It was at this time that I declared to my parents my interest in Computer Science, specifically engineering. Even to this day, I still use the same computer I built to play games, do schoolwork, or just browse the web.

First time coding...

In high school, I knew I had to start my coding debut sometime soon, but I didn't know when to start exactly. In my Junior year, I took a programming class that taught me Python. Like building a computer, being able to code a program, troubleshoot, and finally see it work sparked a special feeling within me. I would code as much as I could, and if I was stumped, I would take a break. During these breaks, whether I would be eating or resting, I would think of how I could fix and improve my code. This programming class was my passport to new skills. In my current Senior year, I am taking an AP Computer Principles class, which also teaches me Java code to use within app development. Again, watching code work not only in an environment but also on an app, is something that you take pride in as an individual. With all of these experiences, my interest in Computer Science just skyrocketed, leading me to where I am today.

Purpose of this website...

I created this website as way to not only showcase myself, but to also put my learned skills to work. This website is a work in progress, with updates being given periodically. It allows me to put new skills to use.
