Who am I?
Junior at Skidmore College
My name is Derrell Downey Jr. and I am pursuing a computer science degree at Skidmore College.
Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a passion for exploring the ways in which technology can be leveraged to solve complex problems and improve people's lives. My coursework has exposed me to a wide range of topics, including data structures, algorithms, programming languages, software engineering, and computer networks. I have also had the opportunity to work on several group projects, which have helped me hone my collaboration and communication skills.
Looking ahead, I am eager to continue learning and growing as a computer scientist. I am particularly interested in Software Development, and I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to expand my skillset and make meaningful contributions to the field.
