Drafting
As of now, my interest in Drafting is entirely expressed in AutoCAD. My typical work in AutoCAD is site plans, but I would like to expand my skillset to metalwork, machining, and more precise design work. I do, also, want to delve more deeply into Architecture, both by becoming more acquainted with elevation plans, floor plans, and 3D Design (REVIT).
I like to ensure that my work is as perfect as possible, and I hope that the things I've done reflect that philosophy. I am always driven to become better at all that I do, which entails that I am always learning better, more efficient, and more precise, ways of doing things.
I have been learning Drafting since high school, when I took a course on Drafting throughout my entire 4 years. There, we learnt hand-drafting, architecture history, AutoCAD, and some REVIT; becoming User Certified in AutoCAD. We did everything from topographical site plans to elevation plans and even designed a 3D model of a tiny home to a client's specifications.
“In order to execute, it is first
necessary to conceive… It is this
product of the mind, this
process of creation, that
constitutes architecture…”
- Étienne-Louis Boullée
“Judging whether life is
or is not worth living amounts to
answering the fundamental
question of philosophy.
All the rest—whether or not the world
has three dimensions, whether the mind
has nine or twelve categories—comes afterwards.”
- Albert Camus
Philosophy
I began studying Philosophy in high school. At the time, it was only a hobby that I had never thought of taking any further. I later decided to get my Bachelor's in Philosophy at the University of Central Florida.
My general area of focus within Philosophy is Metaphysics, more particularly, Ontology. Although, I believe that an interdisciplinary approach is essential to everything, so I'm always deeply interested in Ethics and Epistemology among many others.
I would like to start a career in philosophical research/writing, however, seeing as writing is usually never profitable for comfortable living, I would likely take on a second career as financial supplement. For a second career, I most prefer one of the following (in no particular order): Teaching, Architectural Drafting, Law, or Owning a retail store of some kind (likely related to books or music)
