Introducing me, a teenage coder, musician, and social activist

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hey Steemians!

After the past few weeks of @maxy-hopkins nagging me to check out this site, I finally gave in and had a look. As a tech fanatic, I am super excited about joining the Steemit community and learning more about cryptocurrency!

A little bit about me: I live in Seattle, WA, where I attend school and work at Microsoft as a software engineer. In my free time, I organize hackathons, sing, play piano and guitar, and learn about current events and social justice issues. I'm super passionate about environmental protection and climate change prevention - my dream job is to engineer the SmartGrid, an imagined IoT project to enable access to sustainable energy and improve our current energy storage processes.

In addition to some of my geekier passions, I love doing makeup and watching makeup tutorials, working out (whether it be in the gym, on hikes in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, or playing lacrosse), and of course binge-watching TV shows (I'm addicted to anything on HBO, especially Game of Thrones)!

I'm excited to blog about my experiences in the tech industry, my music, my take on social justice issues, and my everyday adventures. If you're interested, follow my blog here! I can't wait to get started :)

Welcome and good on ya for starting on Steemit. I have limited knowledge of the energy industry but I think all people really need to be more educated in the subject as well as understanding and improving the sustainability of our Mother Earth. I stay positive that people are understanding we gotta make a change in our ways NOW before it's too late. Keen to follow your blog :)

Aha, I'm with you on that! I managed to persuade Becca to get on here but she is my only friend so far!

I'm with you there! The range of content that I've seen so far is much more impressive than Facebook (not to mention all the annoying click bait and fake news!)

Welcome to Steemit Becca!

Good to have you here. I'm sure that your friend @maxy-hopkins will encourage you to keep posting... but I'll say it anyway:

Keep Posting!

Getting to know people is the best part about Steemit. The rewards are good, but it's social media. The best way to use it is to be social.

I'm interested in your coding projects. I'm an aspiring programmer studying javascript. There are a lot of other coders here, too.

Thanks for joining us!

Also, so jealous you have the pacific trail so close to you, that is one hike I still have to do. From Mx al the way to Can.

Welcome to steemit.

Hello, @beccaroskill ! I'm glad to welcome you on SteemIt!
I followed you and UpVoted to you!
I wish you happiness! You will be happy on SteemIt! Great photos, nice girl!

Hi Becca, welcome. Checked you out on your introduction site. So what language do you code?

I've been taking on all kinds of projects to figure out what I like best - I started out doing web dev in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, then took a course in Java, created some solutions for a biology lab using Python, and for my current position at Microsoft I use primarily C++ and Transact-SQL! I've found that the data analysis stuff I'm doing now isn't nearly as much fun as when I used to play around with web dev and web apps

Hmmm. I need to stay close to you @beccaroskill. I've recently started a JAVA course and am trying to figure out where exactly to go once I complete it. Good to know there is someone out there I can exchange info with.
