A few months back, I posted a couple of teasers that I’d been working on something in my ‘spare time’ and would share more about it this summer.
Well, it’s summer and I’ve been busy working with some fantastic people/clients/projects and have not had as much spare time. However, I have been making progress on this ‘hobby project’ whenever I can!
While tinkering with this has been both tough and enjoyable, I have not been able to add all the bells and whistles to it. As, I haven’t been able to devote additional attention to it and I will not be able to in the foreseeable future.
Having said that, I wanted to stick to my previous post(s) of providing more information on this in the summer. Here are a few screenshots of what I’ve been working on in between everything else.
Note the focus has been on the functionality aspects and not focus on UI much, so function over form. I used it on a couple of projects and works really well.
This experience has provided me with a thorough understanding of the work and expertise required at each level/stage. This will help me be a more effective as a client advocate, collaborator and team leader.
I’ve always believed that advancing up the ranks by actually doing the work helps one become better at what their work, better at understanding what clients need, better at seeing the bigger picture and provide a more wholistic long term solutions.
I have had this innate passionate curiosity to learn since I was a kid. I approach everything the same way. I would take my toys apart to figure out how they work so yeah, my older brother was not happy that his toys were all taken apart as well. 😊
I might try to pick this back up in the future to make enhancements. For now, it does what I needed to do. If you are interested in knowing more, reach out and let me know your thoughts.
