While I was in highschool I attended a lecture by David Spivak on a whim and was fascinated by the field ever since. Before really discovering Category Theory, I was more interested in low-level computer architecture and design (although I'm not very knowledgeable by any means) so I didn't really encounter Category Theory through the means that most Computer Science people do (FP, Haskell, etc). Once I learned Category Theory I became more interested in other fields of math.
