About Jake Lawrence

Senior year of high school I had an extra period and on a whim decided to take a class that I had no knowledge of, AP Computer Science. I figured, what could go wrong? I love computers and ever since I was a kid I was captivated by anything deemed \"science\". What I didn\'t know was that I was about to realize the true passion I had for coding and absolute joy that came from problem solving. There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to be a computer science major and that passion for coding carried me through my education at CSUF. I studied all different types of languages, algorithms, data structures, high-level mathematics, and all of them scratched that same problem solving itch that I came to love of computer science from day one. Now that I am in my professional career, my passion for coding remains with me. As a software engineer, I love the power it gives me to create and find solutions that were thought to not be possible.Languages: C, C++, CSS, HTML, Java, Javascript, Python, React.js, SQL Academic Concepts: AGILE Development Principles, Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Data Structures, Object-Oriented Programming, Software DevelopmentOther Skills: MySQL Database, Node.js, REST APIs, Working with Large Data sets
