Here is a little background

Hi! My name is Kurt Weber, welcome to my website. I am currently a student at the University of Florida enrolled in a second bachelor's degree for Computer Science. Why a second bachelor's? Great question! I previously graduated from UF with a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering. My plan after graduation was actually to go to dental school, but I wanted to challenge myself academically and that's why I chose engineering for my undergraduate studies. As an ISE student, I completed a few programming classes which I really enjoyed and led me to want to learn more about it. Early in 2022 I decided I didn't want to go to dental school anymore and wanted to pursue Software Engineering as a career instead. I started learning JavaScript and React for web/mobile development and then started branching out to Python and C++. While most of what I have learned has been self taught, I decided to enter into a second bachelors program to 1. Complete course pre-requisites incase I decide I want to obtain a Master's, and 2. To shore up any gaps I may have in my knowledge. As for my self studies right now, I am currently learning more in depth about AWS, Databases, and Data Structures and Algorithms. Outside of school, I enjoy playing and watching hockey, I'm really into photography, and trading stocks and stock options!
