He also completed his Junior High School education at the same institution, likewise graduating with High Honors.

During his academic journey, Jemuel was introduced to programming through courses such as Computer Fundamentals and Programming 1, where he learned the basics of C programming. In Junior High School, he gained hands-on experience programming Arduino devices using C++ as part of the Technology and Livelihood Education curriculum. Additionally, he participated in a work immersion program in collaboration with USC and Lexmark, where he engaged in organizational tasks, gaining practical exposure to the field of technology.

Why Computer Science

Jemuel’s decision to pursue a degree in computer science was largely influenced by his father, a senior computer programmer working with multiple companies. Witnessing his father’s achievements and the opportunities in the field inspired Jemuel to follow a similar path.

The ongoing advancements in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence, faster processors, and computer hardware, further reinforced his decision. Jemuel believes the computer science field holds immense potential, given its rapid evolution and the increasing demand for skilled professionals in the technology industry. His aspiration is to contribute to this dynamic and ever-expanding domain.
