Nicholas Hubbard is a senior in the Software Engineering program in 91自拍’s College of Engineering and Business. Hubbard chose software engineering because has always loved tinkering with computers, stating “I chose software engineering because ever since I was eight or ten, I always had a passion for computers and around then I discovered programming and computer science, and I got really interested in that.” Hubbard is also involved in clubs and organizations across campus including Model UN and Student Government.
Last academic year Hubbard was a member of “Knightmare”, a team of Cyber Security students who won third place in a highly competitive Capture the Flag competition at the BSidesROC 2024 Conference. However, Hubbard didn’t stop there. He kept himself busy with an internship this summer with Walmart’s Information Technology Department. About his time there he shared “It was an incredibly fulfilling time there; we had some excellent projects for the fuel team that I was on. We did a lot of work with how gas station pumps work, including user experience and managing prices.”
