Hello Friends and welcome to my technical blog. My name is David Reinke and I am studying Computer Science at San Jose State University. I would like to extend an invitation to my instructor and fellow students to follow this blog. I am a former Environmental Studies/Biology major at UC Santa Cruz, so most of my scientific background is in the natural sciences; however, I discovered that this was not the right path for me. I became interested in computer science after completing an internship in which I performed software testing for database storage solutions for IBM. I became intrigued by the way computers worked, and as I did some self-studying trying to find answers to problems, my interest in computer science grew. When I returned to college to finish my degree, I decided to switch to the Computer Science major. The knowledge I have gained and future learning opportunities will help me face many challenges. I continue to have a great interest in software testing, which is always a challenge in itself. Searching software for bugs and bad code is a vital part of the software creation process, and the challenges it provides appeals to the analytical side of me.
