Five Minutes with... Justin Allgyer
You knew you were headed for a career in Computer Science when...
I took my first CS class in high school. I enjoyed the problem solving as
well as the technical aspects so much that I never stopped wanting to explore
the field.
What is your favorite class and why?
2d and 3d Graphics Programming. It was one of the few clases where a
team of programmers can develop a complete project from conception
to completion, which feels very much like a real-world scenario. Also,
it required technical knowledge as well as a certain level of creativity,
which is exactly the kind of work I enjoy.
One piece of advice I have for 1st year students is...
The first year CS classes may be tedious, but they are a necessary evil.
Just keep in mind the classes get a lot more interesting and less restrictive
in higher-level classes.
If you could have dinner with a famous computer
scientist, living or dead, who would you choose?
Will Wright.
What is the most interesting project you have worked on,
either in a course or on the job?
Directional Virtual Fences in New Mexico for use on cattle.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Owning a software development firm, possibly a game development studio.
