The Rybitski Effect

Information:

I am an 18 year old College Freshman studying to become an engineer. I am attending Virginia Western Community College. I like all the normal teenager stuff : soldering irons, 78xx series voltage regulators, LEDs, Tesla coils, and whatnot... but I also like some weird things like rock music, si-fi movies, Halo 2, and the internet.

I am fluent in Photoshop 7.0, Macromedia Flash studio MX 2004, Audacity beta 1.3, and Microsoft Paint.

The forum is a 10 day experience that gives students the opportunity to interact with professionals working in high-profile tech companies, participate in gaming panels, learn to solve real-world scenarios and many other things. more.

In 2006 my Destination Imagination team consisting of three people (Sarah Wilson, Zach Hunter, and I) advanced all the way to the global Finals. Our team, "The Black Hats: Masters of Piracy" took seventh place in the world out of the 46 teams in our division. more. DI Pictures.
