About Me
My name is David Foster and I am a 4th year student at Georgia Tech where I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
If you are a Georgia Tech student, then you will benefit most from the scripts posted on this site. On the other hand if you are an employer, read on to learn about my qualifications.
Biography
I initially discovered computers when I was 4 and starting programming them at 6. Since then, programming has been one of my most enduring hobbies. Beyond that I enjoy playing tennis, badminton, and pool; watching Japanese anime; reading; and learning about spoken languages (as well as programming languages).
Work Objectives
During the summer I seek internships where I can utilize my strong Java coding skills. I am most interested in developing programs related to networking and software development tools. I am also looking for opportunities to become more familiar with the C# language.
