def whoAmI(self, person=Daniel):

I am the child of refugee parents who fled a war-torn country to America to survive and start a new life. As they lost their old lives, they were given a chance to start anew, and were able to obtain advanced degrees in different fields. They taught my sibling and me the importance of hard work and appreciation for everything we had, and to not take the opportunities that were provided for granted. We were able to obtain an education here. I was successfully able to obtain a B.S. Degree from San Jose State University in Computer Engineering. I worked on embedded projects, including a line following device and our senior project hand interface device. I was fortunate to meet great colleagues along the way and attempted our first startup while we were there.

I am dedicated and hardworking, always interested in learning new things. Here are a few of my hobbies:
  • I love cars, and consider myself a basic mechanic (with the assistance of the Web)
  • Motorcycles and Cars! vroom vroom
  • Traveling when I can!
  • Making (linked) lists. Only way to stay organized!
  • Snow sports! I am also good at eating snow.
  • Learning new languages, and working on projects
  • Playing Guitar or DJing. I can press buttons and stuff.

During our senior year, a few colleagues and I attempted our first startup. We were passionate, innovated, and thirsty to change the [world?] for the better. We came out with Enteric, a combination of entertainment and music. We wanted to deliver a platform where venues and artists come together. We were the architects of a dynamic web platform with thought to UI/UX, security, and databases. This was our first real attempt at delivering a user-friendly website.
