At my job I develop software that is utilized for the connectivity of a cellular phone to its appropriate network provider. This means that I write code that will help with such functions. Specifically, the software's responsibility is to read and interpret the SIM card found inside of a cell phone. The information on the SIM card then allows the phone to have access to voice and data services used for daily communication.
My undergraduate degree taught me the fundamentals of Computer Science. I learned about software development, different coding languages, basic computer architecture. etc. The degree gave me the ability to learn a new programming language on my own within a short period of time. It also gave me a strong foundation for my Master's degree. My specialization for my Master's program is Computing Systems. The program will allow me to take courses such as Computer Networks, Computer Architecture, and others that will enhance my coding and software designing skills.
