I actually started a blog of my OSU journey last Winter 2022 to write about my experience taking several courses via the post-bacc program. I’ve completed all courses except for my last elective (CS450 Intro to Graphics) and the capstone (CS467), both of which I will be taking this Fall quarter. So far I’ve really enjoyed everything. The professors are all really responsive and they really want you to succeed. The unofficial Discord community has been great for laughs, struggles, and filled with people that also want you to succeed.

My son is now 18 months old and has been my heart and motivation to finishing this program. I remember doing assignments in the same room as him late at night, as he would lay in his crib sleeping. Now that he’s older, we gave him the room to himself and moved my workstation to my own bedroom (which he loves to barge in to smash on the keyboard).

Since last year I’ve received two internship opportunities where I got to work in agile environments. One as a software developer and the other as a full stack developer. Before that I worked in the aerospace test industry where I worked in multi disciplined teams which required strong communication for time critical responses. For this capstone, I’m hoping to work with a strong team, that will leave a fun and lasting memory as I will be graduating at the end of the quarter.
