Greetings distinguished colleagues, and welcome to my CS467 Capstone Project blog! My name is Lucas and I’m coming to you live and direct from Bellingham WA and I’m very excited to be finishing up this degree with you all. The program has been a great experience overall.
I got my first degree in applied math from Western Washington University in 2012 and I’ve been working full-time in the manufacturing industry as a mechanical designer/engineer for the past 6 years (after getting some CAD certificates). I’ve been in the program since 2019 when I decided I wanted expand/shift my career into software (because I’m in my early thirties and still can’t figure out what I want to do with my life, apparently).
I’m super excited because, after months of searching and countless rejections, I recently received and accepted an offer for my first software engineering job that I will be starting April 4th. I expect the next few months for me will probably be quite wild as I work through this course and learn the ropes of my new position.
My new position is in webdev so I’m primarily looking at any of the full stack web app projects.
