Evan Chen’s Blog

  • Blog Post #4 – CS 467

    Hi, my name is Evan Chen. My first degree was in business, and I later chose to get a computer science degree at Oregon State as I felt my first degree had limited my potential, and that I could accomplish more with the breadth of technical knowledge in a computer science curriculum. For instance, I enjoyed using Excel formulas and pivot tables in my previous jobs, but I longed to understand the logic behind them and be a person who could contribute to writing such tools, not just using them. From my project and this course, I hope to gain hands-on experience working with a multitude of programming languages and libraries, learn to write scalable code, and become an expert at version control practices. I would say that I am both a contributor and a leader. In group settings, I always do my part and also ensure that everyone is on the same page.
