Growing up, I wasn't exposed much to computer programming. I took a class in high school and enjoyed it but didn't think of it too much. Both my Brother-in-Laws, Sean and Kevin, helpmed me develop more curiosity as I watched them manage a start-up's web dev team and become a Computer Science professor at BYU, respectively.
College has been a wild ride. Originally, I though I was destined for the medical field. But I found that I was better suited for accounting. Then I started exploring Finance as a major. I decided I might as well apply for Information Systems as my third option. Fortunately and unfortunately for me, I got into all three programs. After a lot of prayer and research, I knew I.S. was the right choice for me.
Our IT team at BYU has created nearly 50 websites and is always improving the sites and creating more. My primary role is to lead in alpha and beta testing, act as a liason for the client, manage project tasks, and report data and progress to the dean of the college.
With so much to learn and aware that I am only in the infancy stages of my career, I am constantly learning. In addition to school and work, I am always looking for ways to practice my skills and push myself by trying new personal projects.
I am making a short intro video about me. Until that is finished, enjoy this video of me as a high-schooler.
