Guercy's E-Portfolio

My name is Guercy Metayer and I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I graduated top ten of my class at Miami Coral Park High School. I was a student-athlete that lettered in football while enrolled in the dual-enrollment engineering magnet program. I knew I wanted to become an engineer because I excelled in both math and science and two of my older brothers were electrical and architectural engineers.

I made my decision to be a computer engineer one summer as a senior at Coral Park. I thank Ms. Reaves, director of the magnet program, who posted the opportunity to intern at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). While working for FDOT I did both office assistant work and hands on work. The hands on work included inventory, troubleshooting, installing software/hardware, and dismantling/setting up computers. It was an overwhelming feeling knowing I could take a computer apart and put the components back together.

The day I graduated I had to pack my items and the next day I was getting ready for a new challenge at the University of Central Florida (UCF). I enrolled in the summer program at UCF and found out what college was like while still under some supervision. I got an early feel of the campus and made new friends. I worked in the engineering department as a student assistant and assisted students/parents with the programs that were being offered by the office. I got involved with the National Society of Black Engineers, Club Kreyol, and Intramural Sports. Some of my favorite classes include: Digital Circuits, Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Linear Control Systems, and Technical Writing.

I am now a senior in my final semester at the University of Central Florida. I am focusing in networking. I plan on getting certified in networking and administrating my network. I enjoy troublshooting, monitoring, and maintaining my computer. I'm currently working on two projects: the first is my senior design project for an energy monitoring system and the second is an instructional set that shows how to secure a computer.
