Hi there, welcome to my blog! 👋
This is first post so I would like to introduce a little bit about myself. My name is Pamela and I’m a former chemist in transition to become future software engineer. Currently a part-time computer science student working towards post-baccalaureate bachelor’s degree (aka second bachelor’s) at Oregon State University. I’m pretty close to the finish line and hopefully this program can help guide me to a career in tech that I can enjoy and grow in.
Speaking of career, I’m still in exploration phase and have not firmly decided what path I want to take. It is also why I took my time with the program to experience as many topics within computer science as possible. Hence I have diverse internship experiences too. My intern experiences include visual QA and creating tools at an AR/VR startup, big data and machine learning at corporate fintech, and building testing framework for healthcare solution at major tech company. I try to have an open mind and continue to explore both in school courses and outside so that I can give myself many doors to open.
The main purpose of this blog will be to document my journey throughout the CS 467 course – Online Capstone Project. In my future blog posts, I will be mainly focusing on the parts I have struggled, tips and tricks, and things I have learned as I work on a project with two teammates. It will help me organize my thoughts and hopefully benefit you as well. My blog posts will have two main topics: technical and management. Technical part will talk about project and code/language specific details and project management will be about communication between team members as well as project planning/logistics.
This is my first time blogging, so it may be a little rough. But I hope you and I can both learn something new throughout this journey. Thank you for reading my poorly written first blog post, in return here are pictures of my two cute fur babies.
