I attendend Cibertec University and completed second year of college and left as Computer Analyst. This was one of the hardest coding times of my life. During those days my level of math was at the top. I learn how create my own Math formulas to create algorithms and putting into code. The instructors at the time had no mercy and they would leave you insane algorithm assignment. These were some amazing but at same time crazy times with a lot of sleepless nights. This is a funny commercial of my school requesting help of a Cibertec student.
