		<title>Learn how to design, build, and market a web app</title>

		<title>A Change in Direction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TEC has come to a close, and I’m now in my first week of classes at Yale. In the three short months since the program began, it’s incredible how much has changed, and how much those changes are a direct result of my experiences with True and Schematic Labs in San Francisco this summer. Just [...]]]></description>

		<title>That&#8217;s A Wrap, Folks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my first blog post I noted that my main objective for my time at Kiip and TEC was to learn as much as I possibly could. Mission accomplished. More than accomplished. I feel like I learned more this summer than in a whole year at school. So what exactly am I taking away? There [...]]]></description>

		<title>The BrightRoll Hug, or Learning to Love Code Reviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coding at BrightRoll has been intense, and unlike anything I’ve ever done before.  I knew it would be hard and that I would learn a lot this summer.  What I wasn’t expecting was how much of a difference it would make to be a part of a team. When you’re the only one working on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The journey from “CS major” to “Software Engineer”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spending the summer at BrightRoll has been a big step for me in terms of becoming a useful engineer.  I’ve learned a lot at school, and I’ve done coding projects on my own, but there’s no substitute for working with real engineers in the real world.  When I came to BrightRoll, I knew that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Formative Experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The final day of TEC was last week and I’ve spent a lot of time since then thinking about how much has changed since the first day of the program.

		<title>Week 7: The Beginning is the End is the Beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop. &#8211; Confucius 11 interns. 13 books. 18 speakers. 8 weeks in San Francisco. One priceless summer. This summer has been the best summer ever. Why? I&#8217;ve learned and experienced so many things I never thought I&#8217;d try. Here&#8217;s a short [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 6: Meet Manish Shah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After hearing Manish Shah talk at StartupRoots, I wanted to hear more about Rapleaf and Manish&#8217;s beginnings and story. Though I learned how Rapleaf ended up at its current state, I learned even more about team-building, a different way to look at rejection, and how to shape your start-up. Thanks, Manish, for all of your insights! Introduction [...]]]></description>
