Hey everyone, Life has been super hectic! I will take more time to ruminate on the past year in my blog post next week, which should be a doozy considering everything that happened this summer. It has definitely been one of the best two months of my life and I am very grateful for everything [...]

I had breakfast for the first time this week- at about 9 PM.  Don’t get me wrong, an early meal is important- I generally consume a good amount of fruit and cereal on my way out the door- but it’s not the same as breakfast.  Breakfast means waffles or pancakes, maybe orange juice, but always [...]

It is Sunday afternoon and I’m staring down my final week of TEC. Feelings: mixed. On one hand, TEC really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How will I ever be able to replicate the level of access to the people who are making change, and turning ideas into progress? On the other hand, I’m very excited [...]

Now with only one week to go, it seems we are making more progress than ever. Friday was a lot of fun. One awesome part of the culture we have here at Inventables is Free Point Fridays. Every Friday, everyone is at liberty to work on what they think is most important. Sometimes it only [...]

Things are starting to wind down on the actual development of the Healthset Android app. After some successful test runs, and more feedback from the rest of the team, I have been tasked with going back over the code and adding comments/documenting everything. I think just about everything has a nice Javadoc comment above it [...]
