My Academic and Professional Interests<\/p>\n

\"456\"<\/p>\n

My academic background is nested in Psychology and History. I am a graduate of SFU with a BA in Psychology (Adolescent Behaviorism concentration) with a minor in History (Asia-Pacific region). However, I always had an affinity towards the Computing Sciences, thus have plunged myself back into school to pursue a degree. Most of my studies centered on human behavior with cause-and-effect type of research. Although the currently most popular school of thought of Psychology has renounced behaviorism, I like to believe that the behaviorist school has the most amount of potential to positively influence the human race. I have chosen history as a minor because I thought that historical events have profound influences in the present and the future. Concentrating my studies within the Asia-Pacific region, I have mostly studied about North America\u2019s interaction with the Asian nations. If I were to sum up what I have learned within my degree program, I\u2019d like to write that human beings are irrationally predictable. History repeats and yet is always different.<\/p>\n

My professional interest revolves around the technology sector. I am very interested with how the technology sector is performing and I always try to keep up with the latest trends. In the past I have founded a small Internet startup and have competed in competitions for funding from VCs. I have learned so much from the experience and I was amazed how technology related businesses could be created so easily. By pursuing a Computer Science degree, with the prior knowledge I have earned, I hope to return back to the startup scene, having the skills and business savvy necessary. Currently I am working as a barista after a career burnout working for a small independent technology company as a mobile software engineer, specializing in R&D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
