As a software engineer, my long-term career goals include mastering all the latest programming languages and frameworks, building and sustaining a successful software engineering team, and becoming an expert in data science. I also hope to have a positive impact on the world by creating and maintaining technology that improves efficiency and productivity, solves social and environmental problems, and improves people's quality of life. Eventually, I aim to move into a managerial role and focus on leading teams of engineers managing projects, and making life easier and more convenient for everyday users of technology. I am a great candidate because I am hard-working and have the discipline, self-reliance, and desire to put forth the effort to learn, thrive, and succeed during my time in school. I am open to trying new things, and I don't like to give up. Rather, I persevere and push through my challenges with the motivation to succeed in my future career goals. My interests are video games and music. Video games helped me improve my puzzle-solving, memory, and decision-making skills, as well as taught me about teamwork and other cultures. They also helped me relax and taught me valuable life lessons. Music, on the other hand, helps me concentrate and feel better. I prefer songs that express emotions or tell a story, especially those that bring back happy memories. Soothing music helps me relax and sleep better.
