Hello World!

Currently Working On

The CompTIA A+ exam is going to be updated this spring, so I am waiting for the new exam before I take the test. I want to ensure that I have all the knowledge that I need and it will be interesting to see what is added to the curriculum. I have already learned a lot though studying for the exam and I can't wait to test my knowledge!

CompTIA A+

AS in Computer Science

While I have been working for IN-N-OUT Burger I have been taking classes to complete my associates degree in computer science at CSN. Each semester I have been taking a few classes while working to complete the degree.

Projects

Computer/Laptop Repair

I have built my own desktop, which required me to look up what specific parts would work together. With the help of pcpartpicker.com I was able to make sure each of my components worked together and check if any bios updates would be required. Recently I had to updated the bios on it since the end of support for Windows 10 is on October 14, 2025. I also had to enable tpm 2.0 for my desktop since it was disabled. Doing the updated from Windows 10 to 11 was quite the process since it took a couple of hours for the update. Before the update I also created a system image of my computer incase of any unforeseen bugs occurred.

Just as my desktop needed to be updated, my laptop was starting to get slower and run out of storage so I upgraded the M.2 slot to a 1 TB drive. The inside of the laptop was very interesting since each component is scaled down compared to a desktop.

I have been dabbling in Python for about a year now and have learned the basics. Making projects with API calls is the most interesting thing I have done. When connecting to a website and getting information off the site from a program is so interesting! The way it works is so different from how I thought it would. Reading the required fields that the API needs was the most challenging since the documentation can be quite long. I have also used the Pandas library to work with a CSV file and create detailed reports.

Work Experience

IN-N-OUT-Burger

At In-N-Out Burger customer service is the number one priority! It is a fast-paced environment that requires a great deal of teamwork to ensure everything runs smoothly so every customer is happy with their visit. 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. I have also helped fix our POS devices which can have a loose cable that needs to be plugged back in.

Lifeguard

Summer of 2019

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.
