Hey everyone, here is my first blog post for the online CS capstone project. I’m excited to learn and build with you all.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My name is Scotty and I’m a senior computer science student at OSU. I am originally from California but lived in Washington for a while and most recently Texas where I’ll be heading back to once I graduate for my job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My timezone and\/or location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am currently in the GMT+8 timezone but will be moving around throughout the year. I love working remotely and also enjoy traveling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Get to know me: kids, pets, hobbies, sports, games, activities, shows, etc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t have any kids or pets but I am a big fan of dogs and other animals. I like to lift weights and run for exercise and enjoy most adventure sports such as mountain biking, snowboarding, surfing, etc. I don’t play video games or watch shows since I am busy and limited on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What got me started with computers and software?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have always been fascinated by technology and think engineering is better than magic. Once I was introduced to the tech world I knew I wanted to work in the field for many reasons such as pay, remote work possibilities, interesting and impactful opportunities, and to have a skillset that I can apply to a wide range of companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My journey with OSU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I transferred to OSU a few years ago after getting my AS degree from a community college in California. I chose the remote program because I wanted flexibility and lower tuition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Current job and internship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I most recently interned with Dell and will be starting full time as a software engineer after I graduate this spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am more concerned with what I’m building and the company mission than I am the tech stack being used but I do enjoy coding in Python since it’s the most familiar to me and abstracts away a lot of the lower level complexities. This summer I worked on using AI agents built with Python, LangChain, LangGraph, and various LLMs to automate code fixes which was an interesting experience. With the current industry trends I am considering transitioning into a more cybersecurity focused role for better job stability and hopefully more pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite listed projects (in this course) and why<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I found many of the projects fascinating and focused on areas that apply to my career goals. I chose two cybersecurity related projects, a machine learning game project, an animal adoption app, an AI trading bot project, and an LLM agent project. I chose these because they sounded interesting and would help me develop skills in areas that would benefit my career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s a bit about me. If anyone has questions or comments please let me know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks! – Scotty Lindsay<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey everyone, here is my first blog post for the online CS capstone project.
