Why did you first become interested in tech?
My dad worked on IT for the state of Utah, so my family always had tons of computers around the house. Growing up, we always had DSL — that was one thing he would not compromise on. I remember when I was eight years old, I went over to a friend’s house and heard their modem dialing up. I thought, What is that? Why is it taking us four hours to download RollerCoaster Tycoon? So I was always around tech even from a young age.
When I was in high school, I attended an engineering camp at Utah State. One of the coding tasks they had us do was program metal pins in a PVC pipe. The goal was to get the pins to move up and down to allow a ping pong ball to fall through. It was so cool to write the code and watch things happen!
