Nice to Meet You!
Who am I?
Robert Elliott is a recent Computer Engineering graduate from Brigham
Young University - Idaho. His journey began in 2016 as a music performance
major, playing the tuba, at BYU. Passionate about the arts, he pursued
music for a full academic year, when familial circumstances required him
to shift focus away from university. Over the next three years, he gained
valuable experience in management, leadership, and technical roles,
strengthening his problem-solving skills and work ethic. In 2020, as the
world adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic, Robert saw an opportunity to
return to school and explore a new passion: Computer Engineering. Since
then, he has honed his skills in programming, problem-solving, and
technical development, mastering languages such as C, C++, C#, Python,
JavaScript, Verilog, and working with frameworks like React and Next.js.
As a new graduate, Robert is excited about the future and the endless
possibilities that come with merging artistic creativity and engineering
expertise. He looks forward to collaborating with professionals and
contributing to the ever-evolving field of engineering.
Values and Work Ethic
Driven by a passion for creativity and continuous learning/education, Robert always looks for the opportunity to reflect that in his work. He believes that true innovation comes from a blend of technical expertise and artistic liberties, which fuels his approach to engineering. With a strong work ethic developed through years of diverse experiences, Robert thrives in collaborative environments where he can contribute as well as learn from the experiences of others. He values attention to detail, adaptability, and efficiency, always striving to improve both his technical skills and his ability to work effectively with a team. In every situation, Robert is committed to delivering high-quality work, integrity, and maintaining a mindset of curiosity and growth.
Interests and Hobbies
Robert loves music, it still remains as one of his most precious creative
outlets. He hopes to participate in local ensembles to keep playing the
tuba,
but Robert
also excels at piano and loves to sing jazz standards in his free time.
One of his favorite musical memories is performing the Romeo and Juliet
suite, and performing in pit orchestra for
Throughly Modern Millie. Beyond classical and jazz, Robert also
loves modern music. He enjoys jam sessions with his brother and has even
released an EP online under the moniker Fortune Xpress.
Along with music Robert holds many other hobbies such as the
outdoors, tabletop games, video games, and spending time with friends. He
especially loves to play co-op adventures or competitive team based games
with his wife.
Robert loves to find ways to incorporate his creative passions with
his technicial skills. One of his favorite side projects was restoring an
old record player to function using an MSP-432 and a DC motor controller,
while using the rest of the record player case as a PC case.

Education
B.S. Computer Engineering
Brigham Young University - Idaho | Graduated December 2024
As a recent graduate with a B.S. in Computer Engineering, I have coursework experience in software engineering, programming fundamentals, and electrical engineering fundamentals. My most recent embedded systems project focused heavily on application design. As the lead Software Developer I utilzied React Native, aiming to create a seamless smart home device experience controlled completely through a mobile app, power efficient MCU programming, and compact modular circuit board design.
The most valuable skills I have learned at this wonderful institution is creativity, passion, integrity, and the ability to learn new technologies. As a software engineer, I am eager to be the most determined, adaptable, moldable, and creative engineer available. I strive to be honest, have integrity, always deliver satisfactory or greater work, and to always be learning.
