Finding the Crossroads of Art and Engineering
My journey to a career through building with imagination
On a Quest to Build Something Awesome
I remember the day vividly. Sitting in my dorm room, freshman year of college, I was watching old reruns of Mythbusters. As I watched the show, something dawned on me. “I could do that,” I thought, “That looks like a really fun job.” From that moment, I knew what I wanted for my future. I want to build cool stuff. It seems really simple, but the concept really resounded with me. My job, my career, the rest of my life should be in pursuit of creating the things that would fill my younger self with wonder.
