2006 - 2010

High school was a time to play video games, and to deepen my understanding of how they worked on the inside. I made sample Java applications; investigated and used Java Swing, data structures, algorithms, file I/O, and some socket and servlet programming. As a sophomore, a group of classmates and I from a Computer Science course won the 2008 NDIA STEM TeamDefend Competition! It was fun and I learned some odd things about supercomputers hacking slightly-vulnerable Windows Server 2003 services.

2004 - 2006

I fondly remember learning about the C++ programming language with a friend. I touched on polymorphism, variables, methods, language syntax, APIs, and other fundamentals such as stdin/stdout. We worked together on a rudimentary project in which users enjoyed a tree of "paths" (text RPG) and responded to queries, all in the console.

1992 - 2004

I played Windows 95/98 video games such as Mech Warrior, Uprising, and Lemmings. I remember playing old Macintosh Apple games and other ancient games on Windows 3.0. Windows XP came out into excellent releases such as Starcraft, Warcraft III (TFT), Unreal Tournament 2004, Half-Life 2, and Doom 3. In the back of my mind the whole time I wondered how these worlds and scenes were rendering. I thought about the filesystem, the internet, and the underlying systems.
