My name is Armando Cardona, I’m a transfer student that is a junior by credit hours and a freshman by classes,  pursuing a computer science degree. As someone who had a lot of free time and not a lot of friends growing up, I would spend all my time on YouTube and social media learning videography and special effects. My skills and practices revolve around a multitude of trades from wood working to producing music. My interest have truly come into fruition due to me having the internet and dedication. I’ve taken 1st place in a film festival, run a YouTube channel, and have many entrepreneur ventures across many mediums. I’ve been homeless for the majority of my college career and I’ve always found a way to reach my goals no matter the adversities I face or the difficulties that may lay ahead of me. The Factory is a haven on campus for creative and business oriented people. It’s a space that allows art to meet capitalistic ventures.

Armando specializes in working with DSLRs, Audio Equipment, music production, video and sound editing software, film making and wood working. He is learning more about online marketing and resources to grow his YouTube Channel.
