How were you first introduced to CS? How have you continued to develop your technical skills and seek additional exposure to the field? I was first introduced to the real world CS and programming languages in Grade 9. I learned Java for 4 years and watching my code execute correctly was always delightful. And that is when I decided that I wanted to pursue CS. At UCI, I learned Python in my first year and currently I am learning C++. Some assignments have really blown me away as I was able to connect the dots between different concepts and produce results. To get exposed to CS, I job shadowed a Web Developer and a Director of Operation. To gain new skills, I did a research project in areas of crowdsourcing where I learned Django and applied my knowledge in creating a website with other teammates using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I worked on IoT and Augmented Reality as a summer intern. I am currently working on Augmented Reality as an intern, this quarter. I believe that learning and applying are different things and unless you are able to develop or progress by applying your knowledge you won’t know if you have indeed trodden the path of mastering it. I am grateful to have several opportunities to help me grow and advance in CS. Tell us about a time you’ve used your strongest coding language. Please go into detail about how you used this technical language. If talking about a group project, be specific about your role in the final product. (Examples can include projects, coursework, competitions, websites, previous internships, etc.) I think Java and Python are somewhat equally my strongest coding languages. I designed a program in Java which when executed, assumes the role of a company’s payroll system. It allows the company t... ... middle of paper ... ...lity and Statistics for Computer Science: Introduction to the basic concepts of probability and statistics with discussion of applications to computer science.

I am on a FIRST Robotics Competition team (team #4534 Wired Wizards) for the second year in a row. I was the assistant programmer for the season of 2013, and I am the programming lead for the season of 2014. Our team placed 19th out of 52 teams at the 2013 North Carolina Regional, finishing as the highest ranked rookie team in North Carolina (the highest ranking rookie team at the competition was from out of state).
In this topic we will discuss about solving expected value x for discrete chance variable. Expected value is one of the fundamental thoughts in probability, in a sense more general than probability itself. The expected value of a real-valued chance variable offers a compute of the center of the distribution of the variable. More significantly, by taking the expected value of a variety of functions of a general random variable, we can work out a lot of interesting features of its distribution, including spread and correlation.
Last year I put my expertise to practical use when I organized a 4-H community service project and volunteered in the Cummer Gardens in Jacksonville. In my community service project I taught two 4-H clubs how to plant and take care of potted pothos vines.
I have had two part-time jobs involving computer related work, in which I have been able to bring art influences into. When working for Retail Futures, an e-commerce company based in Malvern, I designed their corporate image, and websites for clients such as Coalport and Parcel Force. More recently I have taken another job with a more technical slant, for another e-commerce firm, eplexus. I still do design work, in which I have designed websites and images for "Highwaycode.com", and Anglo Digital a successful venture capitalist firm. Alongside my practical experience, I am also studying Computing at my current college, which aids me to learn the fundamentals of computer usage and programming, an area that I am interested in.
We provide technical support for end users, systems, and wireless hand held devices that are essential to Jacksonville Distribution and Consumer Service Center Operations. Mostly all my technical courses, business, and soft skill courses in my Bachelors program prepared me well while doing my internship. The troubleshooting skill that the school taught us is very useful in my internship. That everything in computers, and computer peripherals work not because of magic. ...
After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Sciencemotivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning have always been my favorite subjects since childhood. I still vividly remember the time during my graduation,when I was successful in creating a simple calculator application as a class assignment.The joy I derived from creating something that is used by a lot of people to help them perform complex calculations,made me realize the power of computing in its true sense.It was also in my graduation that I developed an immense interest in programming languages such as Java, C++ an...

Courses like “Fundamentals of Programming” and “Computer Logic and Algorithms” taught me to appreciate the intricate puzzles and thought processes behind solving every problem as I implemented code in order for robots to solve mazes. Even the video games I used to play had code in them in order to allow me to mine a piece of coal in Minecraft or turn left in a close race in a round of Forza.
This is how I was introduced to programming. Those years were some of the most meaningful of my life, finally pushing me to keep learning about something I began to be passionate about, after years of not knowing how I could change the world. While it was a brief time, making programs and sharing them was one of the most prideful and motivating moments through my life. It all began as I stepped into the frigid air of the programming room.
To this day I still wish I could play football. On a positive note, I found out in my senior year of high school that computers and graphic design sparked my interest. I dabbled in Photoshop. I started off by just editing pictures and doing other little projects. This highly benefited me since I would be going in a related major going into college. When I graduated, I waited a year to go to college because I had to save up money to pay for tuition. So after a year of working at Chick-fil-A, I finally had enough money to put myself through college. I am currently majoring in Web Development. It has been a stressful, but an amazing experience. I have one more semester left and I’ll be able to start my career. I’m ready to begin my future, making money, and do what I love. The web development field is a booming career with
Having enjoyed the academic study of both BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT and BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma in Art and Design, specifically the programming in C# and Python which I look forward to extending my knowledge of programming and the creative aspects of the Art course will allow me to pursue my interests in Computer Science/Software Development in greater depths. Within college I have received many opportunities to gain a lot of experience in different fields such as becoming a mentor for younger years (seven to eleven) that require assistance/guidance in their lessons which I have learned a great deal from, such as: being a role model, working with children, safeguarding, able to spot when children are struggling and general
Prior to that, I had a fairly normal educational career. I did well through my high school and worked hard to get undergraduate admission in the field of my interest in one of the most reputed engineering colleges in my state, SNIST, JNT University. It was pure joy to learn how the Boolean logic makes computers work. I enjoyed studying computer architecture and particularly enjoyed studying about microprocessors. I also liked programming in Java. I used to spend hours in the lab, trying out all the programs I could write for fictitious problems.
I started as an absolute beginner and when I learned more about the job I started thoroughly enjoying it. The work was aimed at identifying threats and assessing the damage they were likely to cause, tagging and eliminating them. To execute my job responsibilities well, I started learning fundamentals of Linux. Within a week, I developed a strong grasp on the basic commands that could be used on the terminal. I started using another Linux distribution, Kali Linux. Thus, I learned a lot about cyber security and ethical hacking. Deeply intrigued with these fields, I undertook in-depth research on them. The internship was useful to learn how real
Many things have lead up to my decision to choose a career in Information Systems. It started at my first semester at my local community college. I was enrolled in their graphic design program and most of the classes I was taking consisted of art classes. My first computer class was working in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. They are graphic programs that many graphic designerÕs use to make their design work. While working with these programs I was very intrigued by the power of computers and how they work. While going to school at the local community college I soon got a job at CitiMortgage working at the computer help desk. I was learning more about computers and networking which helped lead to my decision to change my degree of study to information systems.
