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.
