All about me
My name is Raúl and I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. Shortly after graduating high school I enlisted in the U.S. Army. I was trained as a "Nodal Network Systems Operator-Maintainer" but I also wore many different hats during my time in the service. Throughout my four years I was stationed in Georgia, South Korea, Fort Hood, and Kuwait. Soon after my contract ended I enrolled in college and started pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science. Since then I have been focused on navigating through the world of academia and becoming the best student I can be at UNT. Currently I am focused on learning more modern technologies and finding my place in computer science.
