Hello! My name is Jack DeCarolis, and when asked what I want to do with my life, my response for as long as I can remember has always been “I want to build robots”. Now, it has gotten a lot more specific and sophisticated over time; but my core goal has always been the same. Now to be more specific, I want to be an engineer that works in the blossoming humanoid robotics field. Robotic companies such as 1X and Tesla are already shipping humanoid household robots to residencies all over the world, and while it is presently a relatively small field; by the time I graduate in 2029 I believe that it will be one of the largest industries in the world!
As I am in my first semester of college, I am enrolled in a specialized First Year Experience Class (FYEX). This class has been a wonderful course that has either taught me entirely new concepts or has added on to skills that I had already developed. The following pages contain all of the skills that I have learned throughout this journey.
