The last class of the program. I&#8217;m happy to be here and I honestly thought it would take a lot longer than it did!<br><br>I graduated in 2017 with a degree in Business and a concentration in Information Systems. I took my Information Systems classes close to the end of undergrad which also included coding classes. At that time, I already knew that I enjoyed coding far more than any of the other business classes I was doing but I figured it was too late to change majors. I ended up working in IT and then moving to the Bay Area still working in IT. After about 2 years, I decided that I wanted to get into software engineering and decided to join the OSU CS program. I started out with just one class at a time since getting back into the swing of school and work was challenging, but once the pandemic came around I figured I might as well ramp it up since I won&#8217;t be doing anything else. So I started taking 2 classes and I was able to get to the end of the program sooner than I had expected.<br><br>I learned a lot in this program and was able to apply what I learned to my job. Python helped me tremendously and particularly the Software Engineering II class where I learned how to use APIs. Since I work in IT, I was able to use python and APIs from the systems we use and automate tasks.<br><br>In my free time, I enjoy powerlifting, playing video games, and building\/collecting mechanical keyboards. I hope to get into PCB design and 3d modeling after I finish this program so I can prototype some keyboards!<br><br>I&#8217;m excited for what comes next after graduation. This program has been tough, sometimes grueling, but overall rewarding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this is it.
