Introduction Ricardo Cunningham

Hey whats up everyone how are you guys doing as you can see my name is Ricardo. I am a computer systems major this is my third  year her i have already completed my associates currently going for my bs in the same field.

but anyway enough of the boring stuff. i love to drive an build cars and motor cycles  i also ride ATVs.

I am a huge anime fan bleach is the greatest and i love trying new things and going different places. OH and the most important aspect of my life and coolest thing I love Jesus so. i hope this class will be aswome and amazing and someone will introduce me to some new food spots.

Introducing Mario N. Lopez

Greetings, this is my first semester here at City Tech, which is actually the third school I’ve gone to. I’ve acquired Associate’s Degrees from my prior two schools, one for Electronics and Computer Technology, as well as one for Computer Operations, and am currently working on a Technical Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Systems . I like tinkering with computers and other electronic devices, researching things online, various kinds of video games, and listening in on conversations discreetly. I know a little about a lot of things, but I can be completely dense about the obvious at times.

I haven’t done a lot of jobs yet, but I did get some work fixing computers and doing file transfer stuff, getting to know some new people in the process. The only other work I’ve done besides that is at a call center conducting surveys over the phone for a company over in Long Island City, a difficult job at times but it had its interesting moments.

As for what I hope to gain from this course, hopefully a better understanding of mathematical logic will make it easier to write or read programs should the need arise in the future. While my focus is on operating and maintaining computers, sometimes you want to make or edit scripts for common functions to make doing that easier, and an understanding of programming logic can help a great deal with it.

Anyway, I hope that’s enough of a description to make this read worthwhile, I guess I’ll see you guys in class next time we meet.

Introducing Geovanny Raposo

I’m majoring in ComputerSystems Technology, in the software development track. I received my Associates degree from BMCC where I first was majoring in Graphic Design, but then changed it to Multimedia-design due to having an interest in web development.

I came here to City Tech because not only did I want a bachelors degree, but I wanted to continue learning about programming. I have no clue what I’m going to do after City Tech, only that I will most definitely be happy that it’s finally over.

From this course I hope to gain sufficient knowledge so that I can go on to Discrete Structure 2 with no problems.

As of hobbies, skateboarding recently hit my interests, so I’ve been very slowly learning how to do it. I’m also a musician; I play piano, guitar, ukulele, and some drums. I’ve worked in a music studio for the past 4 years giving music lessons. It recently closed down, so I’m not doing it anymore, but teaching was kinda fun!

Myrka Veloz’s intro

Throughout my professional and educational career, I have consistently driven myself to meet new challenges and achieve goals it is within this type of result-oriented-environment that I particularly excel. It is exactly these qualities that attract me to a highly competitive and exciting career in the Information Technology industry. Sometimes I see myself at the top floor of a business institution looking down at the works of my hands and feeling a sense of achievement, fulfillment, accomplishment and triumph all at the same time. In faith, this dream would be completed through hard work and dedication. My working experience has helped me enhance my knowledge, skills, and passion for technology. I have worked in my college as a college laboratory technician where I maintained the lab equipment, made sure everything was functioning properly with the hardware and software and even helped students understand programming languages such as HTML, SQL, JAVA, and Oracle, with a company called Infor as a value engineering and references scholar where I worked in positions that involved data mining, data research, data analysts, data requirements translation from English to Spanish, and for the Department of Education as the technical support intern for the past year where I monitored various laptops, desktops, printers and installed software. These jobs have taught me what commitment, hard work and time management is all about. As I have managed to blend both my academic career and my job together while still being prompt in submitting in work,preparing for exams, and excelling in them. I thrive in situations where I have to work under pressure as it makes me alert and spurs me in doing even greater things.

Introducing Kazi Islam

Hello Everyone, My Major is CST in Software Development Track.  I am currently working for Express Scripts as a Software Developer. Three years ago i got my associate and then i got a job so i left to work. I came back to finish my bachelor degree. I am hoping to gain in depth knowledge of programming and algorithms. I am hoping this class will help me develop better understanding of algorithms. Once i graduate, I am hoping to get master degree as well. One of my hobby is to play cricket, if i have free time i also like to read and research.

 

Introducing Jose Partida

  • Major : My major is CST with a track of Databases, although HTML also looks really interesting to me.
  • I mainly got into computers as a kid since my parent’s bought a home computer on a whim, and I had to essentially teach them how to use it since I would be on it all day.
  • After getting my bachelors from City Tech, I hope to find a entry level database job and work my way up with experience from there.
  • Honestly this course just seems like it’s going to be interesting so a firm understanding of the concepts .
  • Other hobbies :  Have a pet dog named Spikey. Also I work as a assistant manager for a Edible Arrangements in the bronx ( yes that fancy fruit place).

Introducing me.(Juliano Everett)

Well, My name’s Juliano. At this point in my life, I can only see myself being someone within the field of the gaming industry. Currently, I’m in the field of computer science in hopes to one day become a game developer, and program my own games(Or games in general). I was originally a Mechanical Engineering major, and while robotics are pretty cool, I’ve had an interest in programming and development in general. I would definitely recommend for anyone to try the mech 1101 class if they’re the least bit interested in learning how to draft basic projects and then create them using steel or any material. (In general, there’s a bunch of cool stuff in that building, milling machines, lathes, 3d printer, water jet, CNC machines etc.) Weird recommendation for a bunch of computer majors I know… But you never know what could be useful to you one day.

I got into computers a very long time ago when I use to do basic upgrades on my computer, which eventually led to building my own computers, and now this.  After Tech I plan to continue my education while working and completing any endeavor or projects I think of. I’m young and there’s plenty to do in life.  I hope within this course I learn enough to develop an understanding and hopefully, it’ll be something applicable to what  I do.

In terms of what my hobbies and interests are… I do quite a few things.  When I’m not in the gym, I’m reading, writing and developing games for myself. If all goes well hopefully I’ll have some stuff on kindle and the app store soon.  For anyone else interested in games; Unity is an amazing free resource. 🙂

Introducing Jason Pena

My major is Computer Systems Technology (IT Operations track). I’ve been interested in computer science for as far as I can remember. I’ve always been fascinated and enjoyed using, troubleshooting, and building computers, configuring systems, and learning how they work and I can consider it one of, if not, my first love. I am a big sports fan and support most of the NYC teams (Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, NYCFC, among others) as well as an avid gamer.

After I graduate I am hoping to obtain an entry-level position doing System Administration, most likely in a Windows (Active Directory/SCCM)/VMware environment. Long-term, I would probably like to be a senior SysAdmin for a company I love. I also want to travel and visit a lot of the continental US. I hope to gain a new way of thinking and understanding elementary coding and programming.

Introducing Yaqoob Junjua

  • Your major- my major is CST(Computer Systems Technology) and I am heading towards Networking Security.
  • How you got interested in math/computer science- I got interested in my major because I was so good at it from a very young age.  Plus its a growing field.
  • What you hope to do after you graduate from CityTech; short-term goals, long-term goals, whatever…- when I graduate CityTech I would like to go for my masters. I would also love to buy an M5 and a Range Rover SV autobiography.
  • What you hope to get out of this course (I don’t mean which grade you want!)- I guess the general idea for gaining knowledge in this course would be abstract my mind even more by understanding the concept of this course.
  • Other interests/hobbies you have- I have a lot of hobbies like;  I go to the gym, I listen to classical music, I read books here and there, and I make/smoke shisha with my friends.
