Hi! I'm Colton Blackwell, a recent graduate from Simon Fraser
University, currently working on Easel Software while freelancing
as a web developer for local businesses. My programming journey
began in Vancouver during secondary school, where I delved into
the basics of JavaScript and Java. These initial courses ignited
my passion for programming, leading me to pursue a Bachelor's of
Science at SFU. My interests include weightlifting, Chess, and Music.
Throughout university, I developed a deep fascination with
data science and data analytics, acquiring extensive knowledge of
data structures and algorithms along the way. Starting from
foundational Python programming in CMPT 125 to delving into
advanced cluster analysis in CMPT 459, I've significantly expanded
my understanding and appreciation for extracting insights from data.
I aspire to pursue a career leveraging data analytics and programming
to solve real-world problems.
