Time Commitment

I have two main things that I have set in stone for this coming summer. I have to take a drivers ed course, because learning how drive is a useful skill as we all know, but the course is only two weeks long either in the mornings or in the afternoons, so it shouldn’t really get in the way much. The second is boxing. I take boxing and kickboxing lessons and also help out with some of the kids classes. It’s generally Monday to Friday for a couple hours in the evening. Most of the time that I would be working on the project on would probably be in the morning, evening, and into the late evenings.

-NTFS Driver Improvement

One of the problems is that I don’t have a portfolio. I do have some precious experience in working in C++ and a couple other programming languages. I am by no means a professional but I’m always ready to listen and learn. I pick things up very quickly, so as long as I’m given pretty straight forward directions as to what needs to be done I, personally, have no doubts I’ll be able to figure out what to do.

Best Regards,

Dasha Chekhovskaya
