Ever since I was a kid I've loved working with computers. From tablets, laptops, all-in-ones, to even building my own custom computer, I've worked with them all and loved every second of it. I still remember changing the color in command prompt to green and typing the tree command as a kid and thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. After a couple of years using a laptop for school, I decided to build my own computer when I was 16. After that it was as if a whole new world was opened up to me, from connecting with friends and building computers for them, to learning about programming and eventually developing my own programs in C/C++, Java, and Python.As a kid the idea of getting to work with a computers as a job sounded like a dream, and that passion has carried with me throughout my time at CSU. The availability of resources has allowed me to hone in on elements of computing that I wouldn't have had access to before, and has fueled me to pursue getting Sercurity+, Networking+, and A+ certifications.
