About Me

My name is Alexander Powell. I am a student at King's College and I'm majoring in Computers & Information Systems (CIS). I am anticipated to graduate in May 2024.

I'm passionate about new technology and I'm always excited to where the future of technology takes us, particularly in how we as a society will advance in the future.

Some of the topics that interest me the most are artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR), smart home technologies, and 3D printers.


I love to listen to music all the time. My favorite genres are classic rock, hard rock, and alternative. Some of my favorite bands are Green Day, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, and Billy Joel.

As of right now, this is currently my favorite song at the moment. But my favorite song of all time is Free Bird as made famous by Lynyrd Skynyrd


Some other things about me is that I'm practicing German and I'm learning how to play the guitar.
