I was in Steve Gold's 274 class back in '07 and he told us about the ACM programming team.
9-
I competed in the competition in that year and in '08. ACM died at that point so I didn't
10-
really get involved again for a while.

Freshman year, free pizza. I think that's how everybody finds out about ACM.

In summer of 2010, I went to Switzerland for a month. Joshua Liong (ACM VP at the time),
20-
Richard Wang (ACM Secretary), Matt Sguerri (Historian), and Lynn Cherngchaosil (ACM member)
21-
were with me and we formed a tight group there as we traveled around (who'd have thought trains
22-
and buses could be so fun to ride?). I learned about the revival of ACM by the Puppetmaster Sal Llamas
23-
and his cronies during Alex Ortiz's administration followed by Edgar Ortiz
24-
(both of which I knew through EAT and from classes).

It seems like a really cool club and it is. I have hanged out with so many cool people since the very beginning. And if not because of those people, I don't think I would be where I am today so that should explain how awesome they are.

I attended one meeting at ACM and noticed...I knew everyone there. Frank, Ariana, Lynn, Alex...
29-
I knew them all because I was TA for their 174/274 classes. Andrew, Edgar, Richard and the rest of
30-
the more senior members had been in my classes at some point.

I had apparently acquired a great deal of respect from everyone there and fit in naturally.

During the next elections, Joshua nominated me for president and it was a practically unanimous approval.

Most of the advice I could give people is just repeats of what Sal says. And Sal got most of it from 3 books:
41-
The Outliers, Drive, and Getting Things Done. So go and read those! Or listen to them! I got through outliers
42-
and drive on long car rides listening to the audiobooks. That was GREAT.

I guess that's the simplest way to put it. If you're not good at something, keep doing it until you know it inside out.

Advice to brand new students you need at the getgo,
47-
make a tech tree of courses and plan out where you are going
48-
and what classes you are taking. If you plan out your courses, you'll graduate
49-
on time assuming you didn't fail Linear Algebra/Calc 2 3 times
50-
(Linear Algebra is the reason I took 4.5 to graduate).

Oh and join our CSULB programming team, this one is super important :D.

I was President of ACM for the 2011-2012 academic year (also the AESB president for the second
57-
half of that year, I'd advise against anyone doing that as it was a considerable amount of work
58-
to hold both those positions).

I did the Veteran Affair project. I was also a Company Liaison for a while and a Web Master, then I joined ACM-W.

Strangely, I don't recall ever officially being on any ACM project,
63-
but I've contributed a considerable amount of resources and time to

the Org and its projects overall. Some of this support:

Organizing meetings and dealing with schedules (wasn't necessarily hard but was annoying...VERY annoying)

Giving some of my own money to food costs as ASI refuses to let more than 20 percent of a grant go towards food (software is cheap for students, food is not)

Managed to carry on good relations with EAT because I had long ago established a good relationship with Bob Ward. I almost became the EAT president back then but some of EAT's members from then were....douchbags, to say the least.

Really though, I didn't do all THAT much. I'll be the first to admit Sal Llamas was the true
96-
puppet master behind the scenes. He gave us structure and a few ideas and I just went and ran with it.

As of this writing, I am a computer science grad student studying under Dennis Volper.
104-
I got my BS in comp sci in Dec of 2010 (4.5 years after I entered college in 2006, yes it
105-
pays to have a plan guys. That's all there is to it, besides studying obviously).

I am an intern at IBM with several potential job offers. My area of expertise is Unix/Linux
110-
System Administration. Though I acquired so much Windows experience over the years, I hate
111-
to admit I probably know it better.

Though I don't truly consider myself a coder or software engineer, I'm ironically enough better
116-
as those than many of my coworkers and many students (Hint: Don't declare variables named sssss and sssSSS).
117-
I'm no Edgar Martinez or Andrew Meredith, but I know my way around more programming languages than I can count on one hand.
118-
Having seen so much code over the years, I usually help someone if they have a problem they are stuck on.
119-
Helps to have more than one set of eyes guys. No reason to go through coding completely alone.

I really enjoy algorithms. It's one of the things if not the only thing that attracts me to this major. Last summer, I interned at Amazon and all of these algorithms had come pretty handy during the interview questions. People have called me workaholic, but I don't think I am so....I don't know. Come hang out with me and find out, I'll still be here for a little while.

The coordination between members is also something I won't soon forget.

When I finally become a manager somewhere, I will remember the strategies I learned here.

Probably everything, it has been such a huge part of my life that I don't think I'll ever forget any of it, especially my friends. Most of them had already graduated and I'll miss them dearly.
