Personal Philosphy:
Professional Philosophy
I adhere to the philosophy of self-ownership, voluntary trade, and abiding by the rights of property in my Life. My time is mine, and I intend to use it productively for self-improvement or career oriented tasks. Although the corporate structure being restrictive at times, professionalism to me involves delivering value, efficient time use, and sticking to commitments.
Accuracy and consistency are the cornerstones of the things I do. Whether I am writing reports or analyzing data, I try to make sure that whatever I do is accurate and well thought out. Inefficiencies, wasted resources, and lost trust are the outcomes of errors—none of which are acceptable in a system that is designed to reward merit and responsibility. My reputation is an asset, and I ensure it maintains great standing by being diligent in my work and keeping promises.
Along those lines, security and privacy cannot be compromised. Information, just like property, belongs to its owner, and safeguarding proprietary or confidential information is an ethical obligation. Likewise, I also believe in intellectual property rights, knowing that creativity flourishes when writers and creators have authority over their works. This is partly why I find cybersecurity and I.T. so fascinating, it gives an avenue for personal and commercial means of ownership in informaton & property.
At work, I respect hierarchies of talent, not dictate them by decree. Differences of mind and origin contribute to a team only when participants are responsible for what they bring. At the end of the day, professionalism is integrity, competence, and accountability. I don't ask permission to make a difference—I just do. In a free market, results matter more than bureaucracy, and I measure my success not in how obedient I am but in how well I get things done and how far I advance myself.
Why Computer Science?:
From young, I've always been a curious mind. Since a toddler I've been breaking down home electronics to figure out how they work, to experimenting with obscure operating systems to grasp different ways we can interact with technology. I have a fascination with understanding the technology around us, which has led me to the natural choice of computer science. Learning about computers has been an integral part of my life, and I seek to understand as much as I possibly can. Taking up school in this pursuit is simply a means to an end; to satisfy my inquenchable thirst for learning about these enigmatic machines.
