This will be the final blog post for this series and course. Since there are still a couple more weeks until we submit/compelete our app, this post will be more focused on my experience thus far, and thoughts about the course itself. My Experience I am using this final project as some sort of barometer… Continue reading Capstone Retrospective

My Lack of Balance I approached this program full-time and more or less came in with the mentality that “this needs to work, I need this” in order to do well. While this was motivating and I am proud of some of the results I have achieved thus far, this mentality also came at the… Continue reading Balance

My last post was about instantiating a front-end React table as a feature of the Capstone project I am a part of – a Microsoft Teams bot for automating and scheduling Office Hours. Despite having a penchant for procrastination when things become more of a grind and having to face learning React for the first… Continue reading Navigating a Rabbit Hole

While my previous post focused on curiousness as an engineer, the ability to be an open-minded one is equally as important. The two traits are closely related, and I agree with the delineation between then as laid out by the London School of Economics. Individuals who are ‘open to experience’ are defined as those who… Continue reading Openness

One thing that I notice about Software Engineers is an ever-present curiosity. This is a fundamental denominator that all progressing SWE’s have and that it’s a requirement to continue cultivating this mentality in order to progress as an engineer – both the engineering career and the engineer as an individual. This statement comes from the… Continue reading Curiousness

This is my final quarter at OSU and whew, what a run it’s been! And what a run it’s going to be in this new career that I am excited to begin. This blog contains my musings throughout the Winter Capstone course.
