Chris Molina pronounced(kris mo-lee-nuh)
A software engineer at AWS
Coding (of course), going to the gym to make up for sitting at a desk all day, playing chess or crossword puzzles on my phone, reading books about psychology, and doing basic human necessities.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had a love for video games and have had a strong fascination with how things worked. After realizing that being a video game tester may not be the best career path for me, I broadened my horizons to technology in general. Flip phones were becoming less popular, computers were getting faster, and video games' graphics were consistently improving, and I wanted to know how. After taking my first computer science course in high school, I knew exactly what I wanted to study. While I do not know the specifics of how flip phones eventually became iPhones, I have learned some information about software and how things work under the hood, and I hope to continue growing this information in my future jobs.
I want to showcase a little bit of my personality, my appreciation for video game related fonts/appearances, and a little bit of my coding abilities. Also, it's helpful to have a personal website that I can keep updated and tweak with various technologies.
This is the billion dollar question that took me 20+ years to come to a confident answer. I thought it would be a video game tester, then a senior engineer, then a cybersecurity expert, and now, I want to make video games. In a funny way, my dream has come full circle. How do I know that this dream won't change again in a few years? Well I've already started making my own video game! I am going to launch the game under a company I am planning on instantiating, and with lots of hope and even more luck, I hope to run my own game studio. We'll see what the future holds!
