Dave Smith
BlackStem Faculty Lead, Computer Science FacultyI have been with the college since 2010. I started out as a student , studying music. Shortly after taking my first music course,I realize that a music major wasn’t for me and headed straight over to Computer Science. 3 years later, I transferred to Cal Poly Pomona to finish my Bachelors degree in Computer Science. After graduating from Cal Poly Pomona, I took a semester off and applied to ONE grad school. I told myself if I get in, I will go to grad school, otherwise I will just begin working. Needless to say, I got in! That school was Georgia Tech, where received my Master’s in Computer Science, specializing interactive intelligence. While pursuing my Masters degree, and honestly, before even getting my bachelor’s degree, I landed a full-time position at PCC as the Web Developer. I was in this position for 3 years before getting promoted as the Lead Programmer. Two years in, as a Lead Programmer, I was asked if I could temporarily teach CS for a year. I was excited to do so. Teaching was always something I saw myself doing, and I couldn’t believe I had the honor to teach at PCC. My temporary position turned into a permanent position, and here I am, doing what I love, connecting with students
