Best Computing Experience

Inside of Class
My best computing experience due to a class project is when I had to program a memory cache for Computer Systems 2. The first week (of two) was a challenging hurdle to figure out how exactly the cache is supposed to function, but once I fully understood it the cache became an accomplishing project that cemented my joy in systems. I ended up spending a majority of my time in the second week working long hours each day putting it together, as the design was mainly up to us.

Outside of Class
My best computing experience in an out-of class project is whenever I’m building PCs, either for myself or friends. It’s a satisfying process to find parts that work together, and then to build it and watch it boot for the first time. A close second when it comes to satisfaction in PC builds would be setting up good cable management and admiring how nicely it’s all wired together.
