ANSEL

SMOLUND.

Hi My Name is Ansel!
I am currently a Senior at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities studying Computer Science .
      I have always been fascinated with technology and how it is capable of changing the world. I want to be able to leverage my skills as a software developer to make a meaningful impact in society.
      I was born and raised in the Minneapolis area, so I knew from a young age that I wanted to attend the University of Minnesota. During my freshman year, I took my first ever programming course. It was Introduction to C and C++ , and I loved it. I found that every assignment and exam in that course was just a series of small little puzzles. My love for computer science was born.
      Three years later and I haven't looked back. I continue to grow my knowledge of front end and back end Software Development through academic work, internship experiences and side projects. I built this website from scratch to help develop my front end skills.

I am currently open to opportunities to pursue my professional career in both the computer software sector, as well as the business management field. So if you want to get in touch with me, send me an email!
