Rails Engine is a project to develop a JSON compliant API with multiple endpoints using Rails, ActiveRecord and SQL. I was excited about this project, because my practice developing APIs in Front-End was limited to only a couple projects in Mod 4.
My approach to developing this project was to complete just enough endpoints to be able to execute one or two of the Business Intelligence problems as soon as possible, per a suggestion from the instructor. It was recommended that we start with Merchants, as that is a pretty straight-forward resource.
I completed Merchants in its entirety with all required endpoints, including nested resources. The next day, when determining next steps, my planning began to falter.

Strengths & Storytelling Reflection Guidelines

Build on your professional story by thinking about how you're progressing at Turing. Answer the questions below in your own gist to use your StrengthsFinder themes to add to your story:

  • Write 1-2 paragraphs about your StrengthsFinder themes: How have you seen yourself using these strengths at Turing? Has your understanding of these strengths changed since you first reflected on them? If so, how?

    My initial reaction to my strengths report was surprise. I didn't really buy-in to what the report stated. But after a couple days of reflection, I have come to agree with all of the listed qualities. It turns out that my only challenge was a misunderstanding of the strengths.

    I am an analytical learner. I enjoy learning things for the sake of learning. I need to be stimulated in my work and I will seek tasks and projects that fulfill this need, sometimes to the point that my performance suffers in other areas important to my position.
