Welcome to my blog!

I post about my projects and experiences as a way to mark my milestones, offer a way for me to reflect on what I learned, and to possibly help others!

I am by no means an expert on what I write.
Instead, I write these posts for my own reflection.

My Thoughts on CSS 422: Hardware and Computer Organization at the University of Washington Bothell

In my Winter 2021 quarter, I took CSS 422 at the University of Washington Bothell. This course was a great introduction into the hardware of a computer and how a computer works at a lower level. After taking this course, I have a better understanding of how the different components of a computer are used together. The course also covered the assembly language with the Motorola 68000. In general, I learned a lot about the hardware of computers and how binary representation is used.

What I Learned in CSS 343: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Discrete Mathematics II

I took CSS 343 during my Winter 2021 quarter at the University of Washington Bothell. This class is the second and last course in the Data Structures, Algorithms, and Discrete Mathematics series. From this course, I worked more on my C++ programming and using more advanced data structures in this language. In addition, this particular course was very design focused and taught me a lot about the importance of designing before implementing.

My Experience in CSS 342: Data Structures, Algorithms, And Discrete Mathematics I

During my Autumn 2020 quarter, I took CSS 342 at the University of Washington Bothell. I had taken a data structures and algorithms class before but I did not have much experience with C++. From this course, I learned more about class design and object-oriented programming. My main focus during this class was learning more about C++ and the language-specific details. Overall, the course was a great introduction into C++ and a chance for me to relearn the data structures I had learned before.

Taking CSE 374: Intermediate Programming Concepts and Tools at the University of Washington

In Spring 2020, I took CSE 374 at the University of Washington. This class covered a lot of content in terms of things in software development. I learned more about scripting with bash, C and C++ programming, command-line debuggers, testing, and concurrency. Although this class covered many different topics, they were all introductory and acted more as a starting point for independent learning.

Reflecting on INFO 330: Databases And Data Modeling at the University of Washington

During Spring 2020, I took INFO 330 at the University of Washington. Before taking this class, I had some experience with databases. However, my understanding was very limited and only included up to the point where I could get it to work with my applications. After taking this class, I was shown how important database design really is and how databases are integrated with different applications. We learned how to write SQL code and interact with SQL Server.
