Pedro Pachuca Rodriguez

Entrepreneur, Computer Enthusiast, Teacher, and College Student

Introduced to programming at 11, I've dabbled in many areas of Computer Science and taught at the undergraduate level. Currently, I'm very interested in Computer Security. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve the lives of others using my knowledge of Computer Science and Business. I will be attending UC Berkeley's Mangement, Entrepreneurship, and Technology program (M.E.T.) studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences + Business Administration. In the future, I hope to be one of the world's most influential technology experts and Engineer for Humanity. I am now primarily working on my startup, Sportvue.
