Matthew Miller started learning computer programming at 12 years old. His passion for programming grew as he did.
小蝌蚪APP淚 knew long before I graduated high school that I wanted to pursue a degree in computer science,小蝌蚪APP Matthew said.
Matthew currently works as the programming team lead for Acadian Ambulance Service.
小蝌蚪APP淲e work on a variety of projects, including web applications, desktop applications, and scheduled tasks,小蝌蚪APP he explained. 小蝌蚪APP淥ne of our major projects has been a years-long rewrite and enhancement of our billing and receivables system.小蝌蚪APP
After interning with Acadian Ambulance during his senior year, Matthew was offered a full-time programming/analyst job upon graduation. He now leads a small group of developers.
Matthew was drawn to UL Lafayette for its reputation for a strong computer science program. The proximity to his hometown also helped his decision.
小蝌蚪APP淚 really enjoyed the classes that had projects to build things that were similar to real-world applications, such as the database and video game classes,小蝌蚪APP Matthew said. 小蝌蚪APP淚 also enjoyed the classes that explored the underlying mechanics of computers, such as Operating Systems.小蝌蚪APP
Matthew enjoyed Dr. Mark Radle小蝌蚪APP檚 classes, especially Programming Languages (CMPS 450).
小蝌蚪APP淒r. Radle was an excellent teacher and the projects he gave were always enjoyable,小蝌蚪APP Matthew said. 小蝌蚪APP淗is Programming Languages and Artificial Intelligence classes explored a wide variety of programming languages that expanded my way of thinking about programming and solutions to problems.小蝌蚪APP
Matthew uses the skills he learned in his courses daily and hopes to see even more real-life applications taught at UL Lafayette in the future.
小蝌蚪APP淚 believe the database course was the single most useful one in terms of learning the kind of skills I use every day: designing a database and building an application to use it."
