Welcome Professor Caires and my fellow peers!
My expertise in Computer Science:
As a senior at San Jose State University, I have not
discovered my expertise in computer science yet. Having taken courses that teach Java, windows
programming, and C, I am still learning many things about the field and have
not found my specialty. However, I hope
to specialize in a field that relates to my passion for games, such as game programming.

What I find exciting about Computer Science:
Computer science is always growing and has limitless opportunities to impact aspects of everyday life. For any area there will always be some application of computer technology. The thought that I could create any application I want excites me and motivates me to pursue this career. I could be part of a video game developing company, helping to program the best role playing game of all time. Or I could create a program that allows robots to perform surgery in hospitals. Or I could work with a company that does Mobile Application Development, building e-commerce apps. The opportunities are endless and I like that freedom. Although it’s very challenging, that’s what makes it exciting. There are always new skills to learn, problems to solve, and applications to create. What I’m particularly interested in the Computer Science field is video game design. I want to know HOW my favorite games are all made, and how I can contribute to that field. I want to be part of the development of a worldwide known game.

Challenges I believe I can tackle with what I know as a Computer Scientist:
With my knowledge and developed problem-solving skills, I believe I can tackle real world problems. Since I'm working in the IT department at U.S. Merchant Systems, a credit-card processing company, I've worked with real data from merchants (our customers) and have learned to manage a database using Visual Studio and C#. Of course, I'm still learning so I have the potential to address other difficult problems.
