Dear visitor,
Thank you for visiting my portfolio! My name is William Ben Lowery, and I am a student at the UTSA Carlos Alvarez College of Business in San Antonio, Texas. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I am currently a Business major with a focus on Information Systems at the College of Business. I am currently living in Canada, but I maintain a permanent US address with family in Bellville, Texas.
I appreciate your interest in my profile, and I would like to share some more information about who I am.
Who and what motivates me?
To begin, I would say that I am drawn to the applications of information technologies through both hobby and ideology. Information is a powerful tool that has, as a hobbyist, allowed me to avidly embrace passions in researching pop culture, music, history, and political science— to a very rewarding degree.
Whether I am using my laptop to play Age of Empires, or to study cinema tropes, the US Civil War, or my favorite social theorists, I often find myself engaged in tasks that would have been entirely impossible without some type of Information Systems 'behind the curtain.'
My strong commitment to truth telling and freedom of information means I have the utmost respect for the people that work to build, maintain, and service the Internet of Things. I hope some day to be one more piece in this mosaic of human achievement. From Cybersecurity to Data, to a host of other applications, IT/IS workers live by the cutting edge of social and scientific progress.
Beyond these things, I am motivated by the people in my life I care for the deepest, and this includes my lovely wife, Chloe, as well as my siblings, my mother, and my few closest friends.
