It took us 21 hours (including sleep time) to reach the summit! Although the sunrise was truly beautiful, I might not do that again.<\/li><li>I enjoy digital illustration and have even turned some of my drawings into enamel pins.

I first became interested in programming after hearing the developers on my team discuss their tasks. I was amazed (and a little jealous) that they got to build cool things that would be used by clients throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to learn how to code because I too wanted to build cool things! After completing a Python course on edx, I fell in love with programming, especially the problem solving aspect. I wanted a strong grasp of the fundamentals, which led me to enroll in the post baccalaureate Computer Science program at OSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In progress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides taking the Capstone project, I am also completing an internship during this term. I&#8217;m looking forward to sharing my experiences from both perspectives: as a student and software developer intern. Stay tuned for these posts in the coming weeks&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my first blog plot!
