Hi there! My name is Matthew Middlebrook. I'm a Junior at Abilene Christian University studying Digital Entertainment Technology and minoring in Computer Science.
Currently, I am persuing to be a Technical Designer so I can use both of my skills as a programmer and 3D artist. For fun, I enjoy photography, programming, and graphic design. Currently, I am a junior software developer at Wildcat Software, the student run software development company at ACU. I am also a tutor for Intro to 3D Modeling, and a contract job for School of Information Technology and Computing as a 3D Virtualization Assistant where I 3D model the inside of the Mabee Business Building at ACU. In the past, I was a tutor for Scripting 1 and 2 (using Python). |
My Story
If you could have seen me as a kid, I probably would have been around technology. Teachers at elementary school would always ask me if they had problems with technology, because they knew that I would probably be able to help them.
Going into my Junior year of high school, I really didn't know what I wanted to do in college and would often say that I was Undecided. Taking Digital and Interactive Media, Graphic Design, and Computer Science in high school really helped shape me and help me know what I wanted to do. Towards the end of my Senior year, I decided to be apart of McKinney High School's Literary Magazine. Though this after school club, we worked with the art and creative writing departments to design a 100 page magazine showcasing MHS student's work. I kept asking God what I should do, but I was completely unaware with all the signs he was showing me. Everyone I asked what major I should be all told me the same thing: Digital Entertainment Technology. Reading up about the major, I knew it was a perfect fit for my skills. As I only applied to Abilene Christian University, people tried to get me to apply or visit other colleges, but I knew in my heart that God had big plans for me here. However, my story doesn't stop there. At ACU, I have learned a tremendous amount about myself and the world we live in. I cannot wait to see how God will use me to further his kingdom. |
