First off, I feel I should touch back on the original idea of my plan to make an application that would convert videos and give the ability to download them in a previous blog post. The plan with what I know now was quite ambitious and not very realistic knowing what I know now. At the previous time of writing I had just started to try and touch on those libraries and tools, of which quickly became a lot more work than I originally thought. Just the installation something like MongoDB had me in shambles. From where I stand now, I’m pretty glad to have been humbled so quickly, it just means I need to take it slower, and structure things much better. Recently, with the end of my REU internship, I decided to follow a python tutorial I had looked at to see what I could learn, and come to find out, the guy never even finished his project in the videos and left everyone on a cliffhanger! I lost a lot of time programming in the spotipy library, and working on internal server errors (yikes). What I did walk away with? Flask! despite not getting to finish that project, I have a vague and physical understanding at least of what this library does. With that said, I have a much better, simpler, personal project to go forward with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I am bored, I want to learn more about game development like I always have, no more excuses. For that I will be working in godot. Despite it not being one of the more popular big ticket engines, it’s more of for passion projects and godot with its optimizations, could easily run on my laptop. With this being a lower priority for me, I have a single video I am following at the moment. A single example project just to have something physically done, a first project, as bare bones as it may be. It’s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, to just touch on my professional career. I have taken a day to re-organize my resume, and update it with my new experiences, such as the REU I talked about in length within my previous post, the new courses I am taking that I will be apply to apply in my next internship, and my current activities such as signing up to be a peer mentor for the Speed school (being inspired from the REU), joining the UofL chapter of the ACM to continue that feeling of community, and my future plans to join a Latino based community such as the LSU and LSAMP programs which focus on hispanic people in STEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s going to be a stressful couple of months but that is what I signed up for, Goodluck everyone, here is to moving forward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
