I am a current senior pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Human - Computer Interaction at the University of Rochester, as well as two minors in Psychology and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies. After graduation, I will be working full time as a full stack software engineer in Boston.
I'm a coder and student at the University of Rochester. I've worked with doctorate-level research groups at Sydney University's Institute for Astronomy and ETH Zürich's Institute of Neuroinformatics. More information can be found on my website: mitchelljones.com
I didn't start out as a programmer. As a young child, I loved to write, film videos with my brother, and build sculptures out of cardboard and tape. I went into college determined to be a film and creative writing major. So I was thrown for a loop when I took my first computer science course as a distribution requirement and completely fell in love with it. I was taken by the way that this discipline was so similar to the poems I loved- communicating information as efficiently and elegantly as possible.
After I transferred to the University of Rochester, I've learned to bring my passions together for art, social justice, and science. Whether it's 3D printing sculptures for students at Rettner Hall, writing programs to remix poetry, or color grading old films in DaVinci Resolve, I hope to bring an interdisciplinary mindset to everything that I do.
