I'm able to share my story and some things I'm passionate about doing to help self-taught individuals break into the tech scene. Truly a blessing to get this opportunity to share my story.

Being able to share my Hmong ethnic upbringing while becoming a Software Engineer was an incredible opportunity. @freecodecamp.bsky.social has the large number of people who come from similar backgrounds trying to become a Software Engineer. youtu.be/6JnddhxL6vE?... open.spotify.com/episode/0c7M...

I dislike watching myself, but something tells me this one is going to be worth it! It was an amazing experience with a great partner in @nickyt.online. Had to show my love for 🚫🍍🍕

When I care for something too much, I want things to be pristine. Is this an issue?

If one's knowledge of development was based on their popularity, I'm definitely a Junior Developer.

Sleepy and unmotivated. So hard getting back into the grove!

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

It is time! It is time you get off your ass and work hard for that development job. It is time you stay consistent with your workout routine. It is time you make time to spend quality time with your family. It is time you stop making excuses. The time is now!

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

You go to Thailand to eat. And you just keep eating!

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Delicious meal for $2.34?! I could do this more often.

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Can't wait to view all the results and how these two teams have come together to build a Secret Santa app. We will be live streaming the presentations and judges critiques next month. Stay tuned!

After the presentations, we'll have 3 judges critique each project by these categories: • UI/UX Design • Functionality/Features • Code quality • Presentation • Christmas Spirit

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Requirements from Santa: • Allow user to save their profile • Ability for user to fill out their likes and or hobbies via text or image • Group creation with a budget for gifts • Usage of AI to help find gift ideas

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Who wants a lousy gift that will sit in storage?! No one. Allow Elecretanta to find gifts for individuals that won't be forgotten after the day of gift exchange.

120

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

This will help the secret Santa individuals narrow down a gift using Elecretanta (el-cre-tan-ta), our Elf Secret Santa AI technology. Elecretanta has a special algorithm. It gathers users likes, hobbies, and uses the group's spending budget to find the best gift options.

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Vise versa, many gifsters have no clue what kind of gift to give and want to ensure they're buying something valuable for their secret Santa. He requires a web application built that allows users to login and provide what they enjoy in life.

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Christmas is around the corner and Santa needs your help. Billions of people participate in Secret Santa, and many of them have no idea what they want for Christmas.

Shashi Lo @shashi.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Please join us in January as we livestream each of the 2 teams presenting their Secret Santa App.
