First post

In this first blog post, I'll describe some of my favorite computing experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Since this is such a broad topic, I'll try to mention my favorites from a few different perspectives.

Best "In-Class" Computing Experience

I would say I'm very particular about my workflow, so from a computing standpoint, the classes that allowed me to use my own workflow to solve a problem were the best.

With this in mind, the best computing experience would have to be the data structures course I took. We were given the freedom to solve the problems how we saw fit, and the class happened to be very compatible with my current Linux development workflow.

Best "Outside The Class" computing Experience

Outside of class, I also remain fairly involved in computer science topics. I would list my favorite computing experience from two different perspectives.

On a more general level, I love the open-source tech stack surrounding Linux. Because of this, it was no surprise when I first dipped my toes in the self-hosting world. I still self host various services for myself to this day; including this blog!

From a more specific standpoint, I would have to say my favorite computing experience came a few months ago when I wrote the first section of code for personal project that has been a long time in the planning. This project was started in Rust, and over the last couple months I've gotten some prototyping and design work out of the way. The project is currently going to be considered my senior capstone project, so I'm sure it will be mentioned a bit in future blog posts.
