Hi, my name is

Michael Tripp

Nice to meet you! I am a Data & Systems Analyst by day and a Hobbyist Software Developer by night. I enjoy solving problems and am always looking for new challenges to tackle!

About Me

Allow me to introduce myself!

A Passion for Creation 🛠️

Aside from technology, I also began to realize how much I enjoyed creation and development. I tended to go above and beyond on school projects, origami became a huge hobby of mine, and I started developing Roblox games for fun.

I loved the process of creating something out of nothing.

What I'm Doing Now 📌

Since graduating, I now work for my alma mater as a Data & Systems Analyst. Working here has been such a priviledge as it has given me the opportunity to give back to all those who helped me develop the skillset I have today.

Every day there is a new challenge, but I believe my background has well prepared me. It certainly helps that I have an amazing team as well. 😉

A Love For Tech 💻

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of my family and I playing video games together. Whether it was fighting through Wailing Caverns in World of Warcraft, building an EPIC base in Minecraft, or developing my first game in Roblox, video games were always a place of comfort for me.

As I grew older, this interest developed into a curiosity for how technology worked, and eventually, a love for tech as a whole.

I Graduated College! 🎉

As high school graduation was quickly approaching, I had to decide what career path I wanted to take. Due to this love of technology, passion for creation, and my then growing interest for mathematics, I chose to go to college for Computer Science.

Four years later, in the Spring of 2023, I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics, picking up an extra math degree I did not initially plan for!

Outside of Work.. 🧗‍♂️

Well then, enough talk about work! I am a firm believer that your job should not define your entire life. There are so many other amazing things to enjoy in this world!

Out in the wild, you may find me rock climbing, snowboarding, binge-watching shows, or playing video games.
