My career roadmap has been somewhat defined.

Attended Summer Leadership Course @ Harvard University at age 12 which helped me decide to pursue engineering.

Attended Summer 3D animation course @ University of Hertfordshire in the UK to try out digital design.

Attended Summer Robotics course @ University of Southampton to explore interest in robotics and electrical engineering.

Focused my high school courses on what was necessary to pursue a career in engineering - Maths, Physics, and Further Mathematics A-Level Qualification from UK high school.

Accepted into Georgia Tech and other colleges to major in Electrical Engineering.

Took first python course during first semester @ Georgia Tech and switched majors to Computer Science the following semester.

Joined a Machine Learning research project @ Georgia Tech focusing on NLP in Financial Markets - expanded my programming knowledge and skills.

Offered Internship opportunity @ Itential (a network platform startup based in Atlanta) and Salesforce (Top CRM platform) during my sophmore year as a Software Engineer.
