I am a soon-to-graduate student pursuing a degree in
Computer Science. I am seeking a position where I may use my formal
education, creativity, enthusiasm and attention to detail. I want to learn
how a company works, its structure, products and services, so that I can
provide insights and analysis to business challenges and be a valuable
asset to the organization.
If given an opportunity, my motivation, strong interpersonal skills, and
attention to detail will allow me to make a positive contribution to my
team and the organization.

• Data Structures – array lists and linked lists, array-based
sorting algorithms in C++
• Formal Language Theory/Computation Theory – regular,
context-free, decidable, and undecidable languages, Turing machines and
automata, reducibility
• Computer Networking – the five layers of open systems
interconnection: application (and presentation and session), transport, network,
data link, and physical; client-server software

defenses, race conditions, cryptography
• Software Engineering (in progress) – construction of an online bookstore in scrum teams using web, database and Java and/or Python
development.
• Database Management (in progress) – entity relationship models and more focus than web programmnig on creating
and maintaining databases
• Intro to Scientific Computing (in progress) – basic topics of scientific computing (binary-to-decimal
conversion, representing scientific notation in binary), introduction to MATLAB programming language.

Computer Programming Projects
• Life: the task was to code the logic for the digital game: on a square grid, each space was either “alive” or “dead,” and the number of adjacent spaces that were alive or dead in a round determined the state of that space on the next round (the change in state was visually represented with an animation that I was instructed to make change frames every 100 milliseconds); the intended end result was for the grid to be mostly dead with several small patches of living spaces that might flash between the two states according to the game’s logic
• Blackjack: I was given multiple classes in which to code the logic for the card game; the hardest portion was writing the code that determined if an ace in the hand would be worth one point or eleven
•
Minesweeper: all work used only the driver
class, but it took my implementation of all methods; some methods called
others to fulfill the necessary operations, particularly the method which
checked whether or not adjacent grid spaces were valid (in bounds) and
were a location of one of the game’s mines
• Band:
this project was written as self-assigned code-writing practice; I created all classes and determined how each would interact with one another in either the driver class or in their implementations; the idea was to create a program that had the capability of digitally adding a student into a particular level of a band program and adding music for each level to play at a concert.• Digital Animation: I had to use the animation concepts of the course to make a 20-30 second animation (480-720 frames) using proided models for a ball and Luxo the lamp..
