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)
