Sean Lidy

I am a dedicated and hardworking third-year student at Rochester Institute of Technology in the Software Engineering accelerated BS/MS program. I am striving to graduate a semester early and enter the industry to design the architecture of next-generation software to better the lives of people everywhere.

Leadership & Collaboration

Availing myself of a wide variety of opportunities in my lifetime has helped me to learn leadership and collaboration. Through my career in Scouting and the FIRST youth robotics programs, whether I have found myself at a campsite or on a competition field, I have developed skills in communication, problem solving, and relationship building that put me in the position to be a valuable member of any team.

Example of Leadership

One such example is when I, a Life Scout, led a group of ten people as the Crew Leader of an eleven-day backcountry high adventure hike at Philmont Scout Ranch, New Mexico. We packed in our gear, food, and water to complete almost 70 miles. Part of our hike was reaching an elevation of 11,742’ on Mount Phillips, where we celebrated The Fourth of July. I am proud to say it was a successful outing with no losses or significant injuries.

Passion for Tech & Project Management

Workload and project management and tech exploration seem to be present in all areas of my life. From my coursework to my recreation, I find myself always digging deeper into “the how and the why” and what can be done to make it better and more efficient. I follow current events, tech trends, new releases, hardware support updates, and hobby news. Oftentimes these areas intermingle, and I see the relationship among all of these areas of interest while fueling my passion for software engineering as a global citizen.

Hobbies & Interests

When given my choice for recreation, you might find me: - Outdoors on my mountain bike or in a kayak with my fishing gear - Hanging out in my hammock with a good book - Modding games - Spending time volunteering
