As a user you log in and enter your destination, dates, and what you are intersted in renting. | |
Api possiblities -- weather (once you enter destination forecast comes up) |
Overall I think we worked really well together and did a good mix of solo and paired work. I think we focused | |
on implementing everything first and foremost, we were aware of the lack of testing as we were going and | |
just had our priorities on getting everything functioning. There was a lot of new material and individual research | |
that went into this project that took us a good amount of time. We know that our project could use a lot more testing. | |
We did get testing with Webmock working for the github api which was a win and a good learning process, we did that | |
together. We just didn't get to the webmock for youtube or mailing. I think we had really good communication, Danny was | |
a very responsive and a great team mate, always positive and working hard. I think that in the future we both should | |
have spent more time playing around in the original app that was given to us to understand better what we were working | |
with and building before adding code. |
Please describe the current vision you have for your career. What are the values that will drive your job search? What are your goals for your job search? What kind of role do you see yourself pursuing in your job search? My main value is location. Maybe not so much for my first job, I think I would accept a job in Denver or a larger city for a couple of years to get good experience and then I would like to be in a small mountain town either with either and in person or remote job. I want to be at a company that has good employee retention and is ideally smaller.

Pairing. I think we communicated and followed each other's trains of thought extremely well while remote pairing. |
I did my undergrad in environmental science and worked in that field for a few years doing field research and as a | |
biological technition. I thought I wanted a job where I could work outdoors, my true passion. I quickly found out | |
that working outside all day took away from my outside of work hobbies. Through those jobs I got exposure to statistical | |
analysis softwares that helped me realize how much I enjoyed programming. I decided to go to grad school for biostatistics | |
and one semester in I realized that was not the right path for me. I still enjoyed the programming but not the public | |
health part of the program. When I moved to Denver I fortuitously moved in with an instructor at Turing. This allowed me | |
to get an inside perspective of the program and I made the leap, dropped out of grad school and started at Turing. I am | |
extremely happy with the school so far, in terms of learning code but also growing key skills such as collaboration | |
and communication. I love learning code and am excited to be in a field |
