Hello to everyone that found their way here! My name is Sean and I would like to introduce myself to you all and what my blog will be about.
First, a little bit about me. I’m currently a student at Oregon State University, going through their Computer Science degree program with a focus in Cybersecurity. Before I started this degree, I’ve been interested in programming since high school when I started with web programming with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Though, my interest in programming changed later to more system languages like python, where in my pursuit of knowledge I was also introduced to ethical hacking. Using my programming knowledge and this new passion for ethical hacking, I competed in multiple CTFs (Capture the Flag) tournaments to hone my skills until I got to college, where I could learn more things formally. Though moving away from my journey as a techy, I’ve recently been on more of a discovery of myself and have found new hobbies like rock climbing and hiking, though I have a big journey ahead to get good at rock climbing. Most of the social activities that I like though are DnD, video games (especially Guild Wars 2 and Minecraft), and just hanging out with my cat Kai.
Now let’s talk about what this blog is going to be about. I mainly want this blog to be two things, being:
- How my senior capstone project is going through the nine months I have to do it.
- Any interesting things I learned in my own research or other classes.
Breaking it down a bit more, I want my coverage of my project to be about any successes, failures, struggles, why’s and how’s, plans and detours that come along with any programming project. On the other hand, I want to talk about my learning journey and other cool tech news, as there is so much that I have to learn about in the tech industry. With having much to learn, I feel that being able to teach others about topics I am interested in will help with gaining a better understanding of the material at hand so that I can look at myself every day and say that I’m better at my career than who I was yesterday.
With all of that being said, I want to thank you all for reading this post about me and my journey, and I hope to see your guy’s comments to my learning journey!
