I earned an Associates Certificate in Computer Technology through BOCES Tompkins Seneca Tioga, equivalent to a two-year degree. This comprehensive program provided a strong foundation in both hardware and software, preparing me for a wide range of IT and software engineering roles. The curriculum included in-depth studies of computer systems, network administration, hardware repair, and troubleshooting, alongside software development and programming techniques.

During the program, I worked hands-on with various hardware components, learning to assemble, maintain, and repair computers. I also gained experience in configuring and managing software environments, including operating systems and applications, which enabled me to bridge the gap between hardware and software solutions. This certificate equipped me with a versatile skill set that would later play a crucial role in my career as a full-stack developer and systems administrator.
