CAS Blog: September 2018

To start off my CAS journey, I would just like to say that mainly I've been playing guitar as my creative aspect. I've played guitar since I was twelve years old in the fifth grade, and I would say that it is probably my number one hobby. Mainly, I just enjoy blues-based progressions and songs. I pretty much practice every day, and I look on improving my skills in any way I can, particularly within soloing, as I believe that I can maybe move beyond simple blues-based solos and maybe incorporate other styles to build a more comprehensive and complex repertoire. However, in the near future, I plan on doing other creative pursuits, mainly in computer programming, such with which I've had interest in pursuing for a while.

CAS Project Blog #2

I have been working on completing slides for my internship supervisor, which will be used in a presentation given to this class of MBA candidates at Rice. The research involved in creating these slides has been really cool and interesting, and has taught me a lot more about cryptocurrency and blockchain economics. An example of one of these slides is below:

CAS Project Blog #6

As the final assignment for my internship, my internship supervisor asked me as well as one of my fellow interns to grade several assignments, which detailed ways that cryptocurrency/blockchain impacts the world and the potential business opportunities that arise from it (which connected to the global understanding and potential impact that I researched during the internship) created by the MBA students taking the class. This intern and I sat during a free period and looked over each of the individual assignments, and tried to determine what each student should receive. We ultimately determined that everyone knew their material well, and we didn't give a single grade below a B, as we thought that everyone worked really hard and did a good job. Maybe a little underwhelming for a final project, but nevertheless cool to grade materials, and I'm thankful for such a great internship experience that I've had over the past six months.

CAS Blog: March 2020

Lately, I have been negotiating with the head of the middle school campus of my school in planning a service project for National Honor Society, where I'm planning to teach the middle schoolers of the campus computer programming, which I believe really connects with the nationwide and worldwide need of more leaders in STEM fields as computing becomes larger and larger every day. Besides the implementation of the Magic: The Gathering Club at school, I haven't really done much of service for the school in a while, so I'm really excited for this upcoming project. Additionally, ever since there was a relative void left when I decided to no longer do workouts with Blake, I've been lately getting outside more and doing walks around the neighborhood, which is really nice and allows me to appreciate the nice breeze, blue sky, and the world outside of strings and screens.
