looking back
this term shifted how i think about building. it’s not just about writing code anymore, it’s also about meeting new people, putting yourself out there, and learning in public. from my term at rbc to hackathons and events, i learned to step into rooms where i’m the least experienced, learn fast, and ship + deploy quickly.
next term goals
Dive deeper into cloud infrastructure
Build with embeddings + retrieval
Dive deeper into AI inferencing
Enjoy Summerloo + do more side quests
