It's possible my interest in technology was inevitable, I was born in the 90's and grew up with a massive growth in tech. The rise of the internet, personal computers, gaming consoles, smart phones and more sparked a fundamental interest in technology. After graduating from high school, I took a break to contemplate what I wanted to do for a career until I decided to turn my passion for technology into a career and began attending CSU to earn my bachelor's in computer science. At CSU I learned many of the key skills needed for software development, such as Object-Oriented Programming principles and languages, Web development languages and frameworks, algorithms, data structures, database integration, and Agile development practices, among many more. While attending CSU I began working in IT to gain experience, but now that I have graduated I am looking to take my first steps in this exciting field and find employment as a software engineer.
