Scotty Hall started out striving to be a pharmacist at top clinical setting. He received his CPhT certification from the PTCB in 2013 and after starting on the prerequisites for pharmacy school, in the middle of 2014 he changed his path to computer science and programming. His goal is to work within hospital settings, practicing clinical informatics or software engineering for various organizations. Outside of school and work, he enjoys building anything from 3D printers, to designing and programming music hardware that interfaces natively with PC and Mac OS with DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations). He recently built a keyboard that operates as a plug-and-play device into PC, OSX and Linux systems.
