Barry's Portfolio

Welcome to my portolio site

About me: Hello World, I am Barry!

My name is Abdoul Barry, I am a Math and Computer Science Student at St. Joseph's College, NY. I am passionate about computer programming. Fortunately, I had the chance to be part of ScriptEd - now Code Nation - which has been more than an opportunity to learn to code. This was my first real exposure to the tech industry and programming as I now know it rather than what I usually had heard. This is my portfolio website as a Student Junior Software Engineer, as I often call myself. It contains Projects I have worked on or am currently working on. Make sure to take a look at my work as I have a live link to each project and also a link to the github repository.

Feedback always

Help me improve!

The greatest part of my creation from writing literature to programming is getting feedback. I am too young to be a professional in any of my passion. Any thought you get about my work, is very important to me to know because it helps me do better. Just like Daniel Coyle theorizes in The talent code, screwing up somehow makes us better because we learn from our mistakes which I just describe as experiences that grow us and shape us into a more skilled person.

Questions

I came from a third world country growing up under extreme under-resourced circumstances with very limited educational opportunities. Back in Guinea, I was fascinated with math, physics and technology. My love for physics made me create a strong bond with nature and an unexplainable love for spoken words. I then started writing poetry during my freshman year. Since then, my interest opened to a wider area within literature. I worked on some short stories that I collected in a novel book. In addition, I began a novel which is my biggest project as a writer. As of today, I am both involved in programming and writing. I consider writing skills as deep practice to become more creative as a programmer because it gives me the ability to think within and outside the box simultaneously. I came to the United States in February 2016 and immediately started hunting opportunities to put me on the right path to pursue my dreams. I came across ScriptEd, which is an opportunity for me to learn to code. Surprisingly, it became more than that. ScriptEd has sent me to companies that I could not imagine stepping into such as Google for hackathons and Salesforce for mentorship.
