| Introduction | I am a recent graduate of Computer Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. I am about to begin a career in IT (Networking), but my number one passion is definitely sports, especially soccer. I love being outdoors, or exercising, or getting involved in pick-up sports on the soccer field or the basketball court. I am also an avid fan and proponent of swimming. I feel I get a solid workout from an hour or so in the pool. When I have some downtime, I spend it either watching sports, playing sports/working out, playing the keyboard, or working on some of my tech endeavors. I took on the challenge of a programming-centric Senior Design project as a way to help/force myself to boost my programming skill (in C#). I hope to learn a couple other languages during the semester, at least getting a basic understanding. That doesn't just mean computers either. I would love to learn either Dutch or Hawaiian (the latter of which is 25% of my heritage). I have my cynical moments, but I try to be as upbeat about things as possible. Feel free to drop a line or leave a comment if you like what you read/see! |
