I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan. I now work for a software company north of Detroit, doing all sorts of fun stuff. I started off in school as an Astrophysics major, but decided to move to CS because of its practicality, and its (relatively) ripe job market. I have worked with computers since I was little, and worked many IT jobs throughout college.

When I get home from work, I usually do one of two things: Study for the GMATs, which I hope to take this winter, or continue developing my personal code base. I intend on starting a business in the software industry (hence the GMATs), and I am developing a product currently that I intend on going public with in Q1 next year. I enjoy it, and it has the potential to be rather lucrative. As of now I still view it primarily as a valuable learning experience, but I am very driven to start an effective and successful business within the next 5 years.

Hope that answered your question

Oh, just turned 22 on Saturday, if that matters. Hooray for birthdays that don't matter!
