I am a 19-year old college freshman seeking a Computer Science degree from UMBC. Having graduated from my high school with an IB Diploma, I have a good basic understanding of history, math, composition, and science/research. My knowledge focuses on electronic and war-making technologies, understanding the inner workings of machines, near-future technology, various military culture, and a sense of the scale of the universe large and small.

Along with my learning in IB History, I am an avid watcher of documentaries, many of them on war subjects. I know much about the conflicts of the twentieth century, my area of greatest focus being the Cold War. It was the subject of my 4,000-word research paper for my IB diploma, which covered the development of rocket technology from its roots in Goddard's and von Braun's work to the Saturn V and N-1 rocket programs.

I also read many books. The first that come to mind are Dan Brown's thriller series, the entirety of the Halo book collection, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series, and several graphic encyclopedias. I also read sundry historical fictions and accounts of the conflicts of the twentieth century.
