Martin Luther King believed that the purpose of education is to help people think deeply and critically, as well as to develop both intelligence and character. This coincides with my own interest in the potential of transformative learning at the university. Although I remain a very ambitious programmer and engineer, hoping to make a meaningful contribution to the development of medical technology, renewable energy and the exciting world of decentralized network systems, my long-term learning goals are surprisingly changeable. I believe that university is, among other things, a place of self-discovery, and I want to get involved in all aspects of education: direct, clear learning from expert programmers; deep reflective experiential learning in practice; and rich collaboration.
