Hi! This is my first post for my technical blog. Thanks for visiting!

This blog is created on the penultimate quarter at Oregon State. It is also the busiest quarter I have where I will take 19 credits, the maximum allowed at Oregon State. 

I got started with computers when the world was transitioning from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS. It was the first time I really had to try to understand why a 32 bit OS had RAM limitations. This deep dive sparked my interest in computers.

I currently have an internship ready at Asurion where I will work as a software engineer. I really like working with cloud stuff. One of the projects I will be working on that pertains to cloud is a data pipeline I will make under the supervision of Professor Hess.

 This project starts with an Oracle RDBMS attached to Oracle GoldenGate that sends the recently changed delta records in the Oracle RDBMS to a Kafka queue. The Kafka queue would send the records to an Amazon S3 bucket whereupon the S3 bucket populating, a Scala Spark job would be triggered on an AWS EC2 cluster managed by AirFlow, a worker management system. The spark job would make the data derivations and would use this derived data to combine with the old data to create an enriched data record which would be stored in another Amazon S3 bucket. This data would then be stored in a HUDI table. 

The technologies in the project above will be the same stuff I will be working on in my internship and full-time role. 

I love working as an advisor and mentor to disadvantaged young adults. It is especially a treat for me when my hobby intersects with computer science allowing me to give a richer mentorship to the youth instead of just generic advice.
