AS in Computer Science
While I have been working for IN-N-OUT Burger I have been taking classes to complete my AS degree. I did not want to go into debt get an education so I took a few classes each semester while working. At the start of next summer I plan to have taken my last class for my degree!
Education
Palo Verde High School
High School Diploma
Throughout high school I was constantly trying to find what I was passionate about. During my sophomore year I took a computer science class as an elective. This is where I found my love for computers and the software/hardware they use. Determining what to do later in life was constantly on my mind. Having a passion for video games made me think that developing them would be fun.
Projects
Computer/Laptop Repair
In 2020 I built my own desktop computer from scratch. It required me to look up what specific parts would work together; I went with an AMD chipset which requires an AM4 motherboard. Creating a desktop was extremely fun and nerve racking since the parts cost quite a bit. Building it did take me about 2-3 hours because I wanted to ensure that everything worked and was plugged in correctly. Plugging in the power supply to the motherboard and hard drive took the longest time. Making sure that I was using PCIe, SATA, and CPU cables were going to the correct port took the most time to ensure that I was not going to fry the board. I also had to upgrade my laptop’s storage because it only had 1TB. When I upgraded my laptop, I learned how to take it apart and what the RAM and fans look like.
I have been dabbling in Python for about a year now and know the basics of how it works. Making projects with API calls was probably the most interesting since I was connecting to a website and getting information off the site. Reading the required fields that the API wanted was the most challenging. I have also used Pandas before to work with a CSV file and create a detailed report.

Work Experience

At In-N-Out Burger the customer is the number one priority. A major principle that has been embedded with me is customer service and ensuring the customer always leaves with a smile. It is a fast-paced environment that requires a great deal of teamwork to ensure everything runs smoothly. Clear, precise, and friendly communication with the customers is a must. It ensures everyone knows what is going on and that they are getting what they want. Working here has been a game changer for my customer service skills and showed me how great a company In-N-Out Burger is.

A summer job where I learned how to focus for extended periods of time. It is paramount to stay focused while watching the pool for hours. The most important aspect of a lifeguard is everyone’s safety. Working there taught me the importance of direct and precise communication.
