I was working engineering project management field before ultimately deciding to go back to school to pursue Computer Science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first experience coding was in graduate school learning how to analyze the stresses in a block in tension using Python and Matlab! I loved challenging myself and learning ways to apply technology to calculations that would take hours by hand.  I realized how powerful coding really was and how it had multidisciplinary applications. While in the work force, I realized I missed using the tools. So, I chose to go back to school in 2020 to focus on expanding my knowledge on coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to today, I am in the post-bacc program and about to start my capstone project. I love learning and I hope to keep developing my skills in computer science!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my first ever blog post! My name is Emily Yu.
