About
Hello! My name is Lakelon Bailey, and I am a computer science student at the University of Tennesse, Knoxville. I am also a student of Vanderbilt University's coding bootcamp. My hometown is Lenoir City, TN, but I currently live in Knoxville, TN. This website lists my programming projects as well as some of my professional/academic history. I am currently working as a freelance web developer. I am currently under contract with Outlier's Advantage: ACT Prep Academy for the development of ACTPrep.com.
Interests
Sports Biology
Having played many different sports, I have become fascinated by the application of biology to sports training programs.
Mathematics
From a young age, math has been a valued talent of mine. Now, I spend time developing my understanding of abstract mathematics in order to improve my algorithmic problem solving skills.
Programming
Computer science has become not only my preferred field of study but also a prevalent hobby of mine. I am especially interested in networks and data science.
Outdoors
I regularly engage in many outdoors activities, ranging anywhere from mountain biking to kayaking to pickup basketball.
