It\u2019s been an adventure here at the OSU post-bacc computer science program! I\u2019m excited to share my perspectives and reflections this quarter as I trek through my capstone project, the final stop on my journey. But, before I embark on future blog expeditions, it\u2019s probably important to introduce myself a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Scott and I live in Southern California with my wife and our two pups. We love to hike and camp, and we love to travel the world. I think we both agree there\u2019s so much to see with what feels like little time, but c\u2019est la vie, right? Pretty much any sport will grab my attention, but basketball is my go-to favorite! However, I get the sense my wife doesn\u2019t share my sentiments. Although we don\u2019t share the same affinity for many of our hobbies and interests, we can both agree on a nice day of skiing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ok, so what about my interest in computer science? Well, there was never an \u2018ah ha\u2019 moment that set forth this path. I\u2019ve always had an interest in computers and software, more so for exploring powerful tools to be more efficient and practical both professionally and personally. I thought about technology as a means to a better end. With every year, I\u2019m more fascinated with the things we accomplish. We can easily order a ride from a complete stranger to get to the airport, or we can send countless dollars in our electronic systems with the push of a button. I can even share my thoughts here on this blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My curiosity and desire to get more involved in the tech space brought me here. The many frustrating nights of getting code to work just right led to many rewarding victories. The various experiences while on my voyage have helped build a better skillset and I look forward to this continuation through the capstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also be wondering (probably not), what\u2019s my favorite technology or language? Well, I\u2019ve most enjoyed Python. If you don\u2019t know already, the name stems from Monty Python. I\u2019m like Indiana Jones in the sense I don\u2019t do real snakes and would be found nowhere near! So full disclosure, I like Monty Python and maybe there\u2019s some underlying bias I don\u2019t yet know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alright, now that I\u2019ve shared a little bit about myself I\u2019ll wrap it up. I make it seem like we\u2019re going on an adventure somewhere with all my talk of journeys, expeditions, voyages, etc. Sadly there will be no cruise to the islands or helicopters rides to the Alps (I wish!), but stay tuned as I\u2019ll be back for more updates on my capstone here on my blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
