About Me
Get to know more about my background, skills, and what drives me in the world of computer science and software development.
Who I Am
Hello! I'm TJ Raklovits, a sophomore Computer Science student at Kent State University. My journey in technology began at the age of 4 when I started coding with Python. Since then, I've been consistently developing my programming skills across various languages and technologies.
I'm particularly interested in web development, software engineering, and exploring innovative technologies. I believe in writing clean, efficient code and creating intuitive user experiences.
I've had the opportunity to participate in Kent Hack Enough, where my team and I took 3rd place with our project EduSynapse. This hackathon experience further fueled my passion for collaborative problem-solving and rapid development.
Outside of coding, I practice and teach Karate at Tracy's Karate of Medina, which has taught me discipline, focus, and perseverance-- all skills that translate well into my programming experience.
