Hello
there, reader! This is my first blog post. My name is Jonathan
Vaccaro and I am a 4th year student at San Jose State University
studying computer science. I really love my major a lot and I have
been working towards my goal of becoming a career programmer since
the age of 10.
I
feel that what is most exciting about computer science is its vast
potential to solve problems that were very difficult or even
impossible to solve before computers were invented. For example,
telephone networks and railway systems were very difficult to manage
and maintain in a reliable way before the invention of computers.
I am
very excited about the bright future of robotics and automation in
particular. During my first three years at San Jose State, I had an
internship during holidays where I worked with an inventor at his
start-up company. This company, Cognisense Labs specialized in automation
through the use of vision processing, artificial intelligence and
robotics. During that time, I realized that there were many menial
tasks in existence that could be automated in order to improve
efficiency, keep people out of danger and make the world a better
place.
I am
also very interested in operating systems and operating system
design. I am very fond of Unix and I mentally reference the Unix Design Philosophy as inspiration for every program I write.
