About

Hey, future friend and potential employer! I'm Christopher Felix, the not-so-typical senior Computer Engineering whiz at Florida International University. Between coding marathons and caffeine-induced genius moments, I manage to squeeze in a life that's as vibrant as my code. Music, the magical potion for my soul – whether I'm jamming on my guitar or pretending I'm the next big DJ, the rhythm keeps me grooving through bug hunts. Now, let's talk games. I've saved the world more times than I've had hot dinners, thanks to my mad gaming skills. From pixelated quests to epic battles, I know my way around virtual realms better than I know the campus map. But hey, I'm not all bytes and pixels! I've been known to chase after real-life goals too. Sports are my way of staying humble – nothing says "You're not as fit as you think" like a soccer ball to the face. Speaking of humility, traveling humbles me like nothing else. I've swapped circuits for sunsets and debuggers for exotic dishes. It's like taking a crash course in life's most mind-blowing experiences. And yes, I confess: I'm an anime addict. The bigger the robot, the better the show – that's my mantra. I've binge-watched enough anime to have a PhD in Japanese animated storytelling. As the graduation countdown begins, I'm on the hunt for full-time gigs in the tech universe. Think hardware and silicon engineering, chip wizardry, and the mystical art of embedded systems. If it involves circuits and coffee, count me in. The future's looking electric, and I'm ready to plug in. If you're up for a dose of witty geekiness or just want to discuss how pineapple on pizza is not an abomination, reach out. Let's navigate this crazy tech journey together! Stay curious, Chris 😄

Objective:

Ahoy, fellow code wranglers and hardware whisperers! It's Chris, a soon-to-be graduate on a mission to fuse software sorcery with hardware wizardry. Picture this: I'm not just fluent in programming languages; I'm like a polyglot of coding dialects. JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, C, C++ – I speak them all, a regular United Nations of tech. But here's the kicker – I'm not just about coding; I design symphonies of logic with data structures, algorithms, and design principles. And hardware? Oh, we're going deep into the silicon jungle. RTL design? A stroll in the park. VHDL and Verilog? My secret languages, allowing me to converse with chips and circuits like they're old friends. If hardware were a puzzle, I'd solve it with a soldering iron in one hand and a compiler in the other. Hold onto your circuit boards because there's more – I'm proficient in CAD tools and software that could make even a robot blush. Schematics, layouts, and technical diagrams? They're my canvas, and the motherboard is my masterpiece. Oh, and fabrication? I've turned raw materials into circuits that sing. Now, for a hardware-themed joke: Why did the logic gate go to therapy? Because it had too many insecurities. But let's get back on track. I'm not just looking for a job; I'm on a quest for a tech fellowship that lives and breathes innovation. I want to be part of a team that redefines limits and builds the future with a soldering iron in one hand and a stylus in the other. Teaching and mentoring? That's my side quest. Guiding aspiring tech adventurers through the labyrinth of ones and zeros is my jam. Imagine Gandalf with a pocket protector, helping you navigate the digital realm. So, my fellow adventurers, if you're ready to venture beyond the screen, into a world where software dances with circuits and innovation knows no bounds, join me. We're about to create a symphony of tech that'll make even the most complex hardware blush.
