The Future, the New Year, and New Friends

First, the serious stuff!!

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks due to the Holidays. I wanted to spend quality time with my family and help get the house reset for the New Year. It has been a blast tbh. Here is what I accomplished over the last two weeks regarding my education and projects:

• Created new work relationships with people aspiring to become Software Engineers (Study groups and 1-on-1 counselings).

• Cont. studying Data Structure & Algorithms (Arrays, Linked Lists, and Sorting Problems mostly).

• Was accepted to work on a project that included sorting large databases and refining them to the client's needs.

• Started new course called "Introduction to Logic" hosted by Stanford University.

New Friends

So basically, I began networking! I understood that it was an important thing to do but I had not done this with much purpose till now. I now have joined a study group with others that have true SDE experience. I have also created a weekly routine with a new friend to practice mock interviews and study how to better optimize DSA problems. Lastly, I have requested to be mentored by a highly experience Google Software Engineer. Just waiting to hear back on that one.

DSA Problems on Leetcode/Neetcode

With the new guidance from my study group, I decided to go back and rework my completed DSA problems and focus more primarily on the logic of the questions. I have noticed that I am starting to understand the questions better. I have even been able to successfully complete new questions in a single or a few attempts.

New Project and New Course

There is not much to update with this at the moment due to having just started on both of these. I have yet to really get rolling on the project due to the holidays but will update more as new information comes. I also began the new course on Logic today.

I am very excited for this year. There is a lot of work to do still but looking back I have come a long way. A solid 6 months of programming and projects completed. It is becoming clearer what my path to a Software Engineer consists of. Thinking about it seems to only motivate and excite me. To the New Year!
