Alrighty, I’m about 80% happy with the site’s look so far. Luckily, this is also a project of its own, so I will be tweaking it along the way.
So what’s the goal? The hope? The dream? I hope to share some of my experiences with programming as well as my journey in finding a job that I find worthwhile and rewarding. My first degree is in English, so my background in technology is more from the user’s end. But I didn’t stop there…I went back to school and acquired a second degree in Computer Science. Given these two polarizing degrees, I plan to convey some of my observations over the past few years in how these two areas work together in a programming environment.
So, that’s me in a nutshell. Oh, and I’m female. Girl. Chick. Not a guy. So my posts will not only be written by a girl (!!!) but I hope to also look into how women are changing the sciences and paving the way for other women to break into these fields.
(sidenote) In my CS program, there were only 6 women out of over 100 students enrolled in the major. Something is wrong with this picture. (/sidenote)
Anywho, welcome! Grab a drink and enjoy the insights…
I recently graduated from CSUCI with my B.S. in Computer Science. I am fortunate to say that I also have a B.A. in English from Cal Poly, SLO. I am currently working for a software company in Ventura County, while also working on side projects at home.
My interests have always been in technology, including programming, gaming, and gadgets in general.
I love what you said about women in science. SO true. There are many women in my PhD program, but nearly ALL of the faculty are men. white men.
