my passion for DJing is directly related to technology it's not a hobby for me but it's a commitment to the collaboration of technology and music together I've been very grateful for the community and the support that I've experienced my computer science professors they've taught me a lot they've challenged me in a lot of areas of computer science technology programming they're just very warm they want you to come to office hours and chat with them remember that I hope I did that lab I think you did this yeah when we did that lab I was very grateful for those experiences and the relationships I built in my academic career here at UAB my biggest accomplishment at UAB goes back to the organizations I co-founded specifically Association of computing Machinery that organization was specifically built for collaboration for the computer science department currently we're the largest computer science organization held on campus my past 2 years I had the privilege and the honor to serve as the director for uab's largest collaborative mixer the technology engineering entrepreneurship and business mixer with over 100 students in attendance from across four departments we held the largest mixer ever known to UAB in total I would wrap up my UAB career as just extraordinary it's fulfilling it's really fostered that academic growth okay uh binary search trees and that professional skill set all to make me a well-rounded and adaptable individual and it's definitely gotten me to where I am today [Music]
