Computers

I do not find it surprising that a lot of people label me a "computer geek." After all, my major at UCD is Computer Science and Engineering and I spend a lot of my free time doing computer-related stuff.

My deep interest in computers began around 3rd grade when I discovered a simple BASIC program at the end of a book I was reading. The idea of programming a computer to do whatever I wanted was quite exciting and I started teaching myself to program shortly thereafter. Since that time, my interest in computers has continued to grow and my skills have advanced far beyond those early days of basic programming.
