Bio

My name is Samuel Mutia. I was born in Pennsylvania but brought up in Cameroon(Africa). From a young age I showed great interest in Computers and computer related software. At age 12 I vividly remember working on a game I called "Vikings of Midgard" using "3D Rad" which is a free 3D game development software. I soon became interested in Artificial Intelligence and Database implementation. I had to sharpen my skills, so I took Coursera, and Hackerank courses to learn c#, C+, Javascript and python. I intend to work in a software based Company upon graduation from university. I was hoping to get a bachelor's degree in computer science. From there on I was thinking of starting a company of mine, dealing with Artificial Intelligence, gaming and Mechanical Design. In my free time, I get my blue notebook and write down all my ideas(which are rather quite a lot). I also set up realistic goals to achieve these ideas and estimate their budgets. I also play chess 4-5 times a day to keep my IQ up and read whatever books I can find my hands on. Of course I also show some interest in animation and 3D modelling. I practice all of this by using Blender and Unity.

      Imagine you are inside a car, the car is moving at about 50 miles per hour. The car suddenly flips over and then you start seeing your whole life flash away, and suddenly the car lands on its roof, but does not actually land on its roof. It lands on its tires. But here's the thing. The car is actually still upside down. Now I'm guessing you have a hard time picturing that, but trust me I do every day, and it's possible. Imagine a car that has tires so big that even when it flips over, it lands on its tires. Imagine a basketball court that takes up every ball which lands on the court and sends it into underground pipes and back to you from a ball machine. Imagine playing a board game with virtual reality. Well to me these are not just "what if's'' they are "how to's." When I get up everyday these ideas plague my head as I stare at the ceiling. These Ideas I feel like are my "raison d'etre" they define me as a person. Now the Ideas are not the end of this explosion of information. I picked up my blue notebook which I dubbed the "Ideolopedia" where I jot down these ideas, how long it would take for me to achieve them and the budget involved for all of them. I've had many of these ideas as a kid, and as I grew up I took a more realistic approach to them. As a kid I would ask my dad to take me over to see how excavators did their work, and still do at times. The world of science was a world of light, discovery and passion. When I was introduced to software, I felt like a whole new world had been introduced to me. It was a world that was mine and mine alone. That is when I soon discovered that I wanted to become a software engineer. I could test out almost all of my ideas using simulations and animations. I quickly learned C#, and C+. I am still learning python because I got into the world of Artificial intelligence. I imagined a living house, a house that speaks like a person. I got the Idea from a book my dad bought for me as a kid. With A.I that would be very possible. I am presently working on a game I call "The Concept" . It is a 3D PC board game and I look at it as my starting point. The capital from the game would be necessary for all my other projects. That and my Job, as much as I like to talk about my ideas I have to admit that college would also be a very crucial point in landing in the software industry and hitting my mark as a peak software engineer. I would also be contributing many of my ideas to a starting company. I have the ideas, but when it comes to capital, I am pretty much at a disadvantage. I would not be writing this essay if it were not so. But even with this setback it does nothing to take away my view on computers and software engineering. I read in Robert Kyosaki's "Rich dad, Poor dad" that someone who has the eye for investment cannot be pushed down even when the worst of storms hit. I cannot and would not stop working towards my dreams. Technology has offered me so much in life, and not offering the same if not more than that would be a huge letdown.
