I&#8217;m Megan. This blog will track my to-be-determined OSU CS Capstone project. It feels very strange to be this close to graduating from the program, but I&#8217;m really excited for the capstone course.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For a bit of context, I live in rural Texas outside of Austin. We moved out of the city in 2020 because COVID made the suburbs feel absolutely crammed with humans. Out here it&#8217;s crammed with deer instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5905\/files\/2022\/09\/deer.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5905\/files\/2022\/09\/deer.png 747w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5905\/files\/2022\/09\/deer-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before OSU, I worked in a patchwork of software support roles; QA, implementation, data management, support, success. I always wanted to actually solve the problems and implement the fixes, rather than be on the sidelines; hopefully this degree will help me get started with that! I&#8217;ve started applying for engineering jobs, but so far it&#8217;s rough out there. I&#8217;m trying not to worry about things outside my control and keep my focus on this last quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to taking Capstone, I&#8217;m taking CS450 and the Codepath Android course. (Both of which are great&#8211;if you have a chance to take the Codepath course post-graduation, I&#8217;d highly recommend it.) I&#8217;m also a 271 ULA, which is one of the things I&#8217;ll really miss after graduation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0On the capstone projects front, the cloud-based fire department app really caught my eye. It&#8217;s the right mix of data pipelines and cloud implementation, and I&#8217;m hopeful that I&#8217;ll be accepted. If you&#8217;re interested in this one too, I&#8217;d love to work with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my off hours we&#8217;re working on some remodeling projects. I managed to mess up my back yesterday moving a door, so today is for coursework and coding. Next week I&#8217;m planning to take everything out of my office and repaint it, because one of the walls is an intense shade of green. Electric chartreuse, and not in a good way. Even my cat is vaguely offended by it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5905\/files\/2022\/09\/chartreuse.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19\" width=\"411\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5905\/files\/2022\/09\/chartreuse.png 581w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5905\/files\/2022\/09\/chartreuse-300x266.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading, and see you in the next post! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
