SUMMARY:

I intend to take my long - standing interest in computers and programming and work to change how the average person views computers from mere Web access machines to powerful, free brains capable of doing whatever we’re creative enough to come up with. I am very socially conscious and see computers and the Internet as revolutionary tools for social justice reform.
