I was pre-med in high school (Was taking dual credit courses). Was a gamer, and started my own Garry's Mod servers and was interested in add-ons for my server and of course I was curious as to what went on behind the scenes and started learning LUA. Ended up falling in love with this process and changed my major to comp sci right before college. First year in college went to a local university and just did odd jobs (Yard work, cutting grass, etc.). Ended up not liking the university and realized that I did not receive the scholarship money so I went to a different university where I received these things but was 2 hours away. Ended up applying for a position at a cell phone repair shop. Worked there for 3 months and got promoted to an assistant manager and stayed there until my 1 year anniversary came around and ended up getting recommended an internship at a local software engineering company. Bit the bullet and switched and worked there. After a while I got recommended for two projects through the NASA space grant (Might do a post on those, not sure yet). But one was for the solar eclipse that was last year. Ended up getting to stream a high altitude balloon onto NASA's website. Other one was a star detection system on a rocket that went into orbit for a few minutes.
Senior year of college (fall 2017) started and I started looking for positions and one of my professors recommended I sent in an application to where I am working now. Ended up getting a full-time position offer that what I felt like was the right career move over the offer from the place where I had my internship and have been here for a little over 2 months and I am loving it so far.
