Goals and interests
- Graduate school interests
I believe that to innovate is to find intersections between existing disciplines. Learning a little bit about many things to find a connection between those disciplines and create something new out of it. I decided to combine my passion, graphic design, with technology because I believe these two fields complement each other. I am interested in achieving a Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field. I want to be able to have a complete understanding of computer science so I can integrate it into my work. What I want to do as a programmer is solve my own problems, and when I build something I am essentially changing if not just for myself but for everyone. My aim with technology is about helping people, building programs that solve our everyday problems.
