Braedon Watkins
Senior in Computer Science at University of Central Florida
I am passionate about helping others by using the technical skills
I've acquired. I have a wide range of interests includeing game
development, artificial intelligence, robotics, and web
development.
Before I aspired to a career in software, I studied astrophysics. I have a lot of love for it but software development was my calling.
I also enjoy learning about other non-technical topics like animation, music composition, and math. I hope to channel my curiosity and breadth to continue growing in software! To wind down, I like playing games. Some of my favorite game fixations are Fire Emblem, Legend of Zelda, and Dungeons & Dragons.
