I’ve been introduced to many different tech subjects during my time at Oregon State University, but Machine Learning truly caught my interest. How Machine Learning has been able to change industries, especially when it comes to how it may be used to improve cybersecurity, and separated into such topics as data analysis and algorithms is the main reason I would like to pursue ML in my future career. For Machine Learning, exploring the job market has been extremely exciting and difficult for me. Even though it’s competitive, I’ve found that networking and continuing education are the keys to opening doors in the area, which is large and offers opportunities in big tech companies, and startups.
What got you started with computers or software?
My father, who is an expert electrical engineer is the real reason for my interest in computers. He was particularly interested in circuits and electrical systems, but I was deeply influenced by his imaginative thinking and his approach to problem-solving. I remember the many hours we spent in his place of business when he would detail the complex operations of electrical parts. This is the main cause why I am interested in the digital logic that powers these systems. Eventually, I became more interested in the software that facilitated the physical components my father worked with. The ability to write code and develop programs was like unlocking a new method of electrical power. My choice to study computer science at Oregon State University was mostly influenced by this understanding, which relied in the lessons that I learned from my father.
