In three days, I will graduate with my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Virginia Tech. In July, I will be moving to California to start what quite honestly feels like my dream job. After 4 years, I wanted to post a reflection about my path to this point in my life. I decided to take […]

I might be missing something, but I […]
