I am studying Computer Science with a particular passion for breaking down large problems into smaller, solvable ones. My path has not been the usual one for a software engineer.I originally studied Music Education, but took a break when I realized it was not where I wanted to be long term. I started working at a manufacturing plant, US Synthetic, where I learned about lean culture, continuous improvement, and using the scientific method to approach problems and solutions.After a certain problem led me to needing a software solution, I looked up what I needed to make it happen, and found a new love for coding and software development.I love solving problems, and I love using computers to do it.I'm working on developing my website/portfolio. It's still in the early phases, but you can check it out at https://rylansturm.com
