Welcome to my blog for the CS467 capstone project. To get started, I want to take a moment to share my journey so far.<\/p>\n
I majored in Business back in college, but soon after entering the industry I realized it’s not where my passion lies in. I then had the opportunity to work as a system analyst for a couple years, designing in-house softwares for our employees and sales representatives. I’ve sharpened my skills in various fields including communication, product management, database design, SQL language, data analysis and visualization.<\/p>\n
Having been working closely with software engineers, I became more and more interested in software engineering and I decided to make a career transition when I moved from East Asia to the US in 2019. I started this post-bacc computer science program at OSU, during which I also took a little detour and completed a web development bootcamp. I also found some really great MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) that were extremely helpful in deepening my knowledge and working on interesting projects. All the experience and hard work combined, I landed my first software engineer job at a small e-commerce start-up in 2020 after being a full-time student for about a year. The funny part of it is I’d used and was rather good at Java, Python, C++ and the MERN stack, but I was hired for a C# developer position. One more item to my skill set!<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2021, I interned as an SDE at Amazon for 12 weeks. The experience once again broadened my horizons. I’ve learned so much in the design process for my intern project: coming up with solutions, evaluating them from different aspects, and conducting design review meetings with the whole team. More importantly, I learned to write better and cleaner code each day through my internship. The experience was invaluable to me cause it showed me how a good software engineer works and led me to keep working to become a better one.<\/p>\n
This is my last term at OSU. I don’t know which capstone project I’ll be working on just yet, but I’m super excited to learn new skills and work with new teammates. Will keep you posted!<\/p>\n
