Hello!My name is Samuel A. Maldonado, and I decided to pursue Computer Engineering simply because I wanted to. Most of my life I spent in front of a computer from a young age. So, I thought, "why not just continue down that path?" and so I did. Though this answer might seem shallow, going into something simply because of want has given me the ability to really appreciate and learn about all the fields involving electrical engineering, physics and computer science. Computers and electronics feel like a part of my identity, and I strive to know everything I can, ranging from Blockchain technologies to Low level IC design and firmware. As such, I would say I have a diverse skillset and concept connections that not many could appreciate. I am very grateful for the opportunities that have been given to me, for the opportunities to continue learning and growing, and I hope I can continue to perform and provide value for the opportunities I'm given.
