About Me

Who am I?

Hi! I'm Colton Blackwell, currently immersed in my undergraduate studies at Simon Fraser University. My programming journey began in North Vancouver during high 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.


During my university journey, I've acquired extensive knowledge of data structures and algorithms and honed my interpersonal skills through my involvement with UNICEF SFU. 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 computer programming. I aspire to pursue a career in technological programming in the future.
