Hello, I am Jared Rice. I am a senior at Penn State University studying Information Sciences and Technology. I grew up in a small town in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I've always enjoyed working with computers since I was little. I enjoy almost all aspect of IT. I didn't really know what I wanted to do until my Junior year in high school when I took an A++ computer tech course, and finally realized my passion. I have greatly enjoyed my last four years at Penn State.I really am going to miss being here, but I am even more excited to see what the future holds for me and my career.
During my time spent at Penn State I built a Java application that took in user input and gave them suggestions on local State College restaurants based on that input. It was very simple but taught me a lot about coding and project management. I learned a lot about Java and NetBeans, the IDE I used to develop the application.
For almost two years I have been working for Penn State Arts and Architecture IT as a support specialist intern. I have many responsibilities such as printer maintenance, computer maintenance, computer life cycle management, etc. I have gained a lot of problem solving experience.
For this blog I would ideally like to learn new skills and share them with anyone who wants to take part. I am always willing to learn new things and hopefully you can learn something by reading or watching my videos. My first video is here and it goes over making a basic java project in NetBeans. Go check it out!: https://youtu.be/yNOOa6nvRRw
I am very excited for what the future holds!
