Career Goal: To make software that better accommodates the needs of my customers, is of higher quality, and that is malleable to future changes by other software engineers and robust with respect to current changes within the system. I want to better incorporate what I've learned from mathematics and algorithms so that the software I help develop will run as efficiently as possible.
Memories of Fredonia: Great times with my friends! Met so many great people in classes and clubs. Got to know several professors well - they made class insightful and fun. Most of the classes I took were challenging, especially those taught by Dr. Straight (Number Theory, Abstract Algebra 2, Linear Algebra), I use the tools learned in those classes in my career and I sincerely thank my professors for that.
