Hey everybody, welcome to my OSU Capstone Blog! This is intended to be a chronicle of my journey through a not-yet-chosen project, along with a few other random thoughts that occur to me during the process. Hopefully you find it enlightening, or at the very least, entertaining!
I graduated from college over 20 years ago with a degree in music performance, and I’ve been a software engineer ever since. I’ve had the good fortune to be able to learn from the wisdom of others in the field, but I’ve always felt it would be good to go back and formally complete CS education, which has led me to where I am today.
My day job involves a lot of software architecture, databases, services, etc, so I’m hoping that I get chosen for a sponsored project that involves physical hardware, just to shake things up a bit. I’ve dabbled with things like designing my own 3d printers, a water treatment system, and chicken coop automation system, but it would be great to work on a team for a more official goal.
I don’t yet know which Capstone project I will be working on but I look forward to finishing things up this semester and having an official Compute Science degree .. wish me luck!
