About me
I am a Senior in Computer Science set to graduate in 2024. I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and have been a part of many organizations including:
- Technology Student Association
- Participated in Hex Robotics competition as lead programmer
- Boy Scouts
- Pre-Engineering at Tulsa Tech
- National Honor Society
I first started my college career at Oral Roberts university studying Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. After a year of college I switched my major to Computer Science and in my third year I transferred to Oklahoma State University where I now set to graduate this December. Throughout my time here at OSU, I have had the pleasure of being exposed to many facets of Computer Science and the similar field of Management Systems and Information Technology. I have taken classes such as Introduction to Computer Security and Information Assurance which funnily enough were almost the exact same material but brought about in different perspectives. Computer Security is all about the technical aspects of hacking and cryptography as well as the steps taken to ensure the integrity of systems using different control schemes. Information Assurance was about the managerial side of such vulnerabilities as well as the more physical aspects of such security measures.
My favorite class that I have taken so far would have to be the Introduction to Cyber Physical Systems class offered here. I was able to learn and use Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality devices with simulations I have built myself. Specifically I worked extensively with the Hololens 2, an AR device that allows for precise hand gesture tracking and realspace usage.
One of my most useful classes to date however was a summer class I took called Database Systems Development. The entire course was all about setting up a relational database using SQL with SQL Management Server Studio 20. We created normalized Entity Relationship Diagrams then created their respective tables within a SQL script. The fake data we used to populate the SQL tables was given to us in the form of Excel sheets. We took those sheets and made SQL statements that we could then populate into Excel, copy over to the Studio, then run the script to populate the tables. We then wrote simple queries, advanced queries using sub-queries, and usually had to join tables together in order to reach all the data we needed or the relationship we wanted to abstract.
