Career Aspirations

I've explored a lot of different career paths during my time at UD. Of them, some of the ones I most see myself doing are...

Software Engineering My experience with general software engineering projects is varied. I've done everything from creating a Discord bot for my school to government contracting work during an internship with Northrop Grumman. You can learn about those and more over here, but the main takeaway is that I have a passion for creating software, no matter the context or language.
Teaching Teaching is one of the most satisfying things I've had the pleasure of doing while in school. I've TA'd for multiple courses and taught band at many high schools. I had many great teachers throughout my education and would love to get the opportunity to give some of that back.
Research Research is something I'm not as familiar with, only having done a semester of it in High Performance Computing at UD. Pushing the boundaries of what has been done is a very attractive concept, and I would be grateful to work on the cutting edge of technology.
Dev Ops I adore workflows. The first thing I do when I start up a new project is think about how I'll organize my workflow. Going into Dev-Ops would be a dream come true! When working on UD's Discord bot, Sage, I set up a Jenkins pipeline to deploy it, and getting that working was the most satisfying thing in the world.
