-- My name is Demetrius S and I am a college student in my 20s pursuing a - Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Of course, a computer science - degree isn't all that I am! -
-What do I do?
-- Professionally, I work for my University's IT Help Desk. I like my job, - the people I work with, and the problems I solve. I would be very happy - to work in either the IT or the SWE field, as both fields have problems - I like solving. Maybe one day I can do both! -
-- I also participate in some clubs at my University, and, when time - allows, I enjoy quite a few hobbies outside of my extracurriculars. -
-University Clubs
-Cybersecurity Club, Vice President
-- So far, my role entails planning and facilitating meetings. The task I - enjoy most, however, is to listen and learn. Our club President has a - lot of informative things to teach us! -
-Computer Science Club, Treasurer
-- I took on this role recently due to a vacancy. I've lots to learn. My - friend, who acts as Treasurer for other clubs, is teaching me. -
-Competitive Programming Club, Member
-- I have gone to and competed in a few competitions in coordination with - the club. We've attended PACISE, ICPC, and others. It is an amazing - experience to solve a problem under stress! -
-Hobbies
-Music: Curating and Listening
-- While I don't make music, I certainly enjoy finding new music. Either - from online or from other media like movies, music follows me - everywhere. One of the things about the Internet of which I'm most - grateful is the exposure to music I receive. Music in many languages, - even when not understood by me, still sounds great. -
-- I've fallen in love with many genres throughout my life. One - consistent genre "type" has been electronic music. My life with EM - started with dubstep, but I soon grew out of the genre and moved on to - other things for a time. In late 2022, I stumbled upon a drum and bass - musician named LTJ Bukem. Because of him and others, I enjoy jungle / - drum and bass. -
-- More conventional genres such as rock, rap, R&B, and pop have also - enjoyed a special spot in my life. From the era of Jimi Hendrix to the - decade of Nirvana, rock rocks! Also, rap and pop in not just English - but also other languages (such as French rap or Russian pop) are - things I return to periodically. I must say that having just a little - bit of curiosity when listening to music in other languages really - helps you learn even basic words and phrases for fun. -
-Friends!
-- I have amazing friends who teach me so much. The world, defined only - through my own lens, looks very small. These friends have made my world so - much larger. -
