<\/p>\n
My name is Dave Borrel and I am pursuing a second degree in the Integrated Computer Science program at UBC. Before entering this program, I majored in Biomedical Physiology at SFU. During my time there, I was a research assistant in a Cardiovascular Physiology lab and saw the impact technology had on producing valid results. There were many machines that captured sensitive data, and sorted through large datasets after experiments. After graduating, I worked as a support worker for the Fraser Health Crisis Line. Many times on the job, I realized the role that well designed software and technology has in optimizing service for those clients who phone for support. In both these roles, I realized how vital it is to have technology that improves the work that is being done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These experiences contributed toward my decision to continue my education and master more technical skills related to programming and software development. I plan to combine the lessons I learned from my professional experience and my prior education to my current studies. After the program, I hope to work as a full stack software engineer and contribute to projects that have a significant positive impact on others.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This page briefly describes my academic and profession background.
