Technology has been a HUGE part of my life every since the early middle school days. Many of my peers from middle school are well aware of this connection I have with technology. It has really influenced my future goals and life plan.
It all started back when I took interest in how a computer works and how it was able to produce an image that could be changed based on what the user wanted. Through my middle school I joined the STLP (Student Technology Leadership Program), where I absorbed information about everything I could from audio to networking to software and much more. I began teaching myself and learned at a very quick pace.
As of today, I have built my own budget powerhouse computer with 6 cores @ 3.7 GHz, 16GB of RAM, a pretty good graphics card with 1GB of RAM, and over 5 terabytes of storage. I primarily used this computer as a NAS server (network attached storage) where I could save all of my files etc. I then purchased a Macbook Pro, which I used for producing and editing short videos and compiling clips. Then I sold my Mac and bought a Surface Pro. Which I slightly regret. I really do enjoy the power I can get out of a small device like the Surface Pro but the main problem is that there is no sign of OSX.
So you're probably wondering where all of this money is coming from. Currently I am developing websites from the ground up for small businesses around Lexington to pay for all of this. I hope to form this into a decent sized business that I can run while still going to school. It pays good money, which I hope to turn around and buy the new Mac Pro for my business, meaning I will receive a discount for it through taxes. :-)
