About
I’m Cristy G., a fourth year undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.
The College of Computing is not just my major college, it’s where I work as a Student Assistant and participate in various student organizations: FIREWALL, Women@CC, Minorities@CC, Hispanics@CC, Grey Hackers @ Tech (Grey H@T), the programming team, and the Mentors Program. It’s also the place where I hang out, code, play videogames, and may pull the occasional all-nighter.
In summer of 2010 I studied abroad in Barcelona, and it completely changed my life in so many ways. I met a wonderful group of people, traveled all over Europe, and I got to experience a world cup victory – along with getting a whole semester’s worth of knowledge, of course!
The following year I interned at CareerBuilder, where I learned so, so very much. I learned how to apply many of the concepts I’d learned in class, as well as how life as a software engineer was like. It was a wonderful learning experience and a ton of fun to spend my summer with the Search Team and the awesome folks over at the Norcross offices [as well as achieving new levels of trolling with my fellow interns, which may or may not have happened on site].
I’m interested in the creative aspect of CS as well as the connection between humans and computers, as a system and a medium. I find anything related to human-computer interaction, user experience, and usability fascinating, as well as anything that uses programming as a creative outlet. Other non-CS interests include reading, writing, drawing, running, listening to progressive rock, and playing video games.
