My Journey

My name is Harrison Holt, and as a senior Computer Science major with a minor in Psychology, I am deeply passionate about blending technology with human behavior to enhance user experiences in digital environments. My academic journey is complemented by personal interests in running, sports, and history, which have instilled in me the values of perseverance and an appreciation for the lessons of the past. Initially hesitant about web design and development, my perspective shifted as I immersed myself deeper into the field, growing to love the creativity and problem-solving it entails. This evolution reflects my broader approach to life and learning: I am determined, endlessly curious, and thrive when faced with challenges, always seeking innovative solutions.

Collaboration is at the heart of my ethos; I firmly believe that working together as a group amplifies our potential beyond what can be achieved individually. My journey has taught me the importance of listening to and valuing my peers' opinions, even when they differ from my own, as this diversity of thought leads to more robust solutions and personal growth.

However, my enthusiasm for tackling problems and diving into new learning opportunities sometimes leads me to take on too much, stretching my capacity thin. I recognize that my eagerness to solve challenges and contribute can sometimes overshadow the need for patience and deeper reflection. Moreover, I am learning to accept that being wrong is a valuable part of the learning process, helping me to embrace feedback more openly and use it as a tool for growth.

In every endeavor, I strive to leverage my strengths and confront my weaknesses, aiming to make a meaningful impact through technology while continuously seeking personal and professional development.
