My name is Bradley, and I recently moved to Iowa from Northern California. I spend my time in the gym or configuring my vimrc.
I wish I had a story about how I started coding at age three and emulated Angry Birds on my TI-84, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Around 2020, I moved to Brazil for a short time and had nothing to do for work for months. So, I decided to finally explore a long-held curiosity—Python programming. I immediately felt a sense of power that had me hooked. I enrolled in OSU immediately and got to work.
I currently work in sales for a major telecom company. Although I love my job, I’d rather be developing the internal tools than just using them. Some of them are downright horrific. Give me $70k and a year, and I can fix them—please. Wait a second… I have a message to send on Teams. Surely if I @ the CEO directly, they’ll give me a chance!
Well… they erased my message, but good news! I have a meeting with HR on Monday! Surely to discuss the terms of my new job title as Principal Engineer!
On another note, my goal for my capstone is to learn new technologies and create something that someone would be willing to pay real money for. By “real money,” I don’t mean a lot—just actual currency, not Monopoly money or Robux. Turns out Taco Bell doesn’t accept Robux, and if it can’t buy a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, what’s the point? I’m NEVER making that mistake again. But seriously, I want to impress, and I’m willing to put in the work.
