TSTC immersion motivated software engineer

Thadeus Burgess absorbed Software Engineering Technology en route to an Associate of Applied Science degree at TSTC in 2009. He became a software engineer with Media Research Labs LLC in Austin, a company that serves clients such as Disney, ESPN and ABC.

“I get involved with various assignments that include programming our internal management dashboard to working extensively with various eye-tracking systems, as well as writing programs that aid in automating the execution and analysis of research,” he said.

The computer fever struck in high school. “My friends and I would always hang out in the computer lab at lunch and work on projects outside of the classroom,” he recalled.

“TSTC has a good reputation for two-year colleges in Texas. I also considered ITT; however, TSTC offered the exact same courses for one-half the tuition price. TSTC trained me to be a leader while working with a team and how to conduct myself as a professional,” he said.
