Computer Science Student | Building Strong Software Foundations
About Chase Garner
Professional Summary:
I’m a computer science student at Western Governors University focused on building strong software foundations through structured coursework, hands-on practice, and real-world technical experience. I’m developing core skills in programming, problem-solving, and system thinking while learning how to translate requirements into working code. My nontraditional background has strengthened my discipline, attention to detail, and ability to learn independently—skills I apply daily as I work toward a career in software engineering.
My Journey
I started learning computer science with little hands-on experience and quickly realized that progress comes from consistency and patience. Over time, I’ve shifted my focus toward understanding core programming concepts, breaking problems down, and writing cleaner, more structured code. As I continue learning, I’m building confidence by turning concepts into working programs and improving step by step through practice and coursework.
