Hi everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Mario, I’m from Western Massachusetts and I’m a computer science major graduating in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art fits into my current life as a form of self expression which provides a well-needed escape from my more technical work as a computer science major. I’m hoping to work as a software engineer in the industry after graduation and I’m sure art will continue to play a role in my life in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My experience in art involves…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve taken a variety of drawing based art classes at WPI like Figure Drawing and Human Figure in Motion. In these classes, I mainly focused on traditional graphite pencil and paper drawing with the occasional use of charcoal sticks for shading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the art classes mentioned above, I have taken 3-D modeling 1 where I sculpted my own model of an Alien from the “Alien” movie series using ZBrush and then rendering it with KeyShot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My experience in tech involves…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My experience with programming and electronics is fairly vast as a computer science major. I’ve created mobile apps, worked on numerous software projects, and had an internship in the software engineering field. My favorite software project so far has been working on my software engineering class project where we created a kiosk application for Brigham Women’s Faulkner Hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my creative projects…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoy working with my hands and basically live at Home Depot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have other projects that I unfortunately do not have photos of; like a homemade aluminum melting forge, and a mini-fridge converted into a kegarator. My current ongoing project I am working on in my free time is a portable blacksmith setup using a homemade propane burner and fire brick forge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My creative inspirations<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am deeply inspired by DIY YouTube creators like Colin Furze and King of Random. I really like trying to make things from scratch myself and I’m super excited for this opportunity to create something unique using light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
