Hi I\u2019m Malcolm Jeffers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am in my senior year of Computer Science at Oregon State University. I am looking forward to starting my career as a software engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before starting school at Oregon State, I was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. While in the service, I worked on the MQ-9 Reaper. The reaper is a remotely piloted aircraft able to be flown from anywhere in the world. It mainly performs surveillance and reconnaissance missions. I have always loved aircraft and enjoy working on and learning more about how they operate. Working with this aircraft also increased my interest in learning about computers. I first started and mastered how all the mechanical components, and the engine operated. As I dug deeper, I wanted to get a better understanding of how the aircraft communicated between itself and the pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always had an interest in figuring out how things work. Before starting this program, computers and tech was kind of a mystery to me. I knew it was a bunch of ones and zeros but did not have an idea of how the ones and zeros actually accomplished tasks. Through this program I was able to learn from lower assembly level to high level languages, how networking is implemented, and how the internet works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I graduate, I hope to be able to use my skills to continue working with aircraft, but designing and working on integrated systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
