How It All Began

How did I choose the name Undercover Computer Geek? Well, to put it simply – nobody believed me when I told them I was really a computer geek at heart. So I decided that I would just let my work speak for itself.

I signed up to do a Co-op at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. My professor suggested that instead of doing the standard 7 – 10 page essay, I should just document what I’m learning by posting in a blog format.

Here’s my academic proposal:

I need to develop my skills. Being interested in communication and media and marketing is no longer enough. Although I’m going to graduate with a degree in Economics – it’s not my passion.

This blog will document my attempt to learn the world of internet marketing, the ins and outs of search engines, and online social media networks. I’m optimistic about the future and I absolutely believe that the internet is going to be essential – more so than it already is.

I was focused on communication, media and marketing in terms of Web 2.0. My goal was to understand and simplify the world of internet marketing, the ins and outs of search engines, and online social media networks.

Along the way I discovered a passion for graphic design. Through online Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop tutorials, I taught myself how to be a better designer and how to create a presence on the internet.
