Welcome, I'm Ronald Forte Jr

Intro

Nice to meet you! I'm a passionate Computer Science major at Hunter College, aspiring to become a Software Engineer. I know you've probably heard that a million times, so feel free to click here to see my experience and skip the rest.

Technical Skills: I am proficient in C++, Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Additionally, I have a good grasp of various other languages and technologies that enhance my versatility.

Personal Goal: My passion for software engineering began with scripting in games, where the thrill of building something from the ground up sparked a deep-seated love for the process of creation. This early experience solidified my desire to pursue a career in this field. My ultimate goal is to collaborate with a talented team, working together toward a shared vision that benefits and simplifies the lives of others. I am driven by the prospect of contributing to meaningful projects that have a significant impact. I envision myself as part of a dynamic team, tackling complex challenges and developing innovative solutions. The opportunity to work on large-scale projects that make a real difference is where I see myself in the future. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, striving to achieve excellence in everything I do.

Personal Insight: One thing about me is my love for knowledge. If you're a hiring manager who's read my responses, you've likely noticed this already. I constantly strive to learn new things and better myself because it brings me immense joy. This drive has led me to partake in the SEO program, where I developed my skills in a professional setting, including technical interviews. Additionally, I completed a Coursera course in Cybersecurity, which I find fascinating as a hobby, earning a certificate in the process.

Experience

During a 5-week online fellowship at Headstarter AI, I worked on five different AI projects, demonstrating strong time management, AI skills, and personal growth. My chosen track involved creating a website designed to attract 1000 users.

I currently work full-time at Altronix. Although my role isn't directly related to software, I have gained valuable insights and knowledge from interacting with software engineers. This experience has also given me a better understanding of how software can be integrated with hardware.

Through an online mentorship with Microsoft, I learned effective time management strategies and received one-on-one guidance from a Cyber Security Analyst. This mentorship taught me valuable stress management techniques and ways to optimize work efficiency. Additionally, I modified existing software to correct errors and adapt to new hardware, enhancing overall efficiency.

About

I love to make meaningful connections so lets talk more personal. My cat Kairo!

I love my cat. If you checked out my github by now, you'd see that I am teaching my cat how to code but it's going as good as you'd expect. There is more to it before you think I'm actually insane for talking about my cat on my about page. Let's breakdown Kairo's days as well as mine.

College & Other Education

Received coaching and online instruction to achieve targeted interview, technical, and professional developmental goals. Learned all about business fundamentals to compete successfully for internship opportunities. Completing industry-specific training focused on developing technical skills, institutional knowledge, and attention to detail.

I am currently an undergraduate at Hunter College pursuing a bachelors degree in Computer Science.

Relevant Coursework:

I took 60 credits worth of classes while in highschool thanks to my highschool's program. I was fortunate to graduate highschool and college at the same time securing an associates degree. Though I didn't gain much relevant knowledge in computer science since it wasn't my choice, this has taught me all about time/stress management, deadlines, and a hint of teamwork.
