As a child, I have always liked tinkering with computers and testing the limits of what each computer can do. I still remember using my first computer in 2003, which was a family desktop computer, one of those big old honking computers with all the nostalgic elements of old school computers. I was fascinated by how easily it was to navigate through things, and how natural it came to me to type and to find out new ways to utilize various programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward to 2005, and I opened my first Myspace account. My official first foray in something “software development” related was in Myspace themes development, and I also eventually moved on to Tumblr themes! This has really solidified my love for full-stack development, and for incrementally developing features that would eventually be a part of a bigger picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After graduating with my Psychology degree in 2019 at UC Irvine, I worked as a linguist recruiter for a fairly small company, and that definitely opened my eyes as to how much new technology is needed in every aspect of life. In my initial degree I was also exposed to MATLAB and also some minor scripting with Python to automate some basic tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am currently a full-time student and currently applying to full-time jobs, but I am networking as much as possible and trying to stay on top of everything! I have to say, after going through the half of the program I still felt somewhat lost, but now that I am nearing the end of the program I definitely feel like things are coming together. I especially enjoyed that we got a wide variety of classes that were mostly applicable, and also have access to very interesting electives as well! Through this program, I am glad that we got exposure to many of the lower-level languages as well as higher-level languages, and had a few classes with pretty interesting portfolio pieces as well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has also been amazing to be able to see the impact of AI\/ML on the current tech world, and also on how it can be incorporated for this program as well. As for post-graduation, I will mainly be looking for fullstack development, but I would also love to do something with big data or AI as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of school and job prepping, I like to read, try new boba\/food places, and watch shows and movies. I also really love languages and culture, and can often be seen looking up random new facts or topics that pique my interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway congratulations to everyone for making it this far! We are at the home stretch. Looking forward to a great quarter with you all! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
