WELCOME
I am currently enrolled in my 5th year at the Georgia Institute of Technology and will be obtaining bachelor’s degrees in computer science and mechanical engineering with an anticipated graduation of December 2011. In 2008 I started an online marketing company, called Zedicate.com, which I still run today, selling various types of merchandise from many vendors.
My undergraduate career began as a mechanical engineering student. During this period of study I was part of a team of three tasked with designing a robotic machine capable of entering an area, recognizing predetermined objects, such as balls and bowling pins, and collecting them. In addition to exercising and developing my skills as an engineer, working on this project and others like it has developed my ability to both work as a part of a team and lead that team to accomplishing its goals. While studying engineering, my interest in computers began to grow, leading to the founding of my online marketing company. Zedicate.com is a network of affiliate marketing websites that I built from scratch. Creating this company and its infrastructure has helped me to hone many of my skills and develop goals and ambitions for what I want to do with my future. Having no previous training, I had to teach myself website development. This accomplishment sparked further interest in learning how to do more with computers, leading to the declaration of my degree in computer science.
Professionally I would like to incorporate both of my fields of study and lead project development teams. I have a history of ambition and leadership and am very organized and detail-oriented. Having had a leadership role in nearly every organization I have been a part of, and even achieving Eagle Scout, I am very interested in being a leader and driving a team to accomplish its tasks and goals.
Within two years I will conclude my undergraduate studies at Georgia Tech and will immediately seek a master’s of science in computer science. At the conclusion of my graduate studies, I will seek employment in which I will be able to exercise the many things I have learned in both of my fields of study. I have a wide variety of experiences that make me both a great team member as well as a leader capable of pushing a team to accomplish its goals. I also hope to continue developing my online business into a strong company that will not only support me but continue to challenge me to learn new things and work hard.
