戴夫史密斯

I have been with the college since 2010. I started out as a student , studying music. Shortly after taking my first music course,I realize that a music major wasn't for me and headed straight over to Computer Science. 3 years later, I transferred to Cal Poly Pomona to finish my Bachelors degree in Computer Science. After graduating from Cal Poly Pomona, I took a semester off and applied to ONE grad school. 我告诉自己 if I get in, I will go to grad school, otherwise I will just begin working. 不必要的 说，我被录取了! That school was Georgia Tech, where received my Master's in Computer Science, specializing interactive intelligence. While pursuing my Masters degree, and honestly, before even getting my bachelor's degree, I landed a full-time position 在PCC as the Web Developer. I was in this position for 3 years before getting promoted as the Lead Programmer. Two years in, as a Lead Programmer, I was asked if I could temporarily teach CS for a year. I was excited to do so. Teaching was always something I saw myself doing, and I couldn't believe I had the honor to teach 在PCC. 我的临时 position turned into a permanent position, and here I am, doing what I love, connecting 与学生
