Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.) During my winter break, I worked with my mentor on several things. First of all, my mentor was having problems with his iPhone and his iPad which he both uses to run his tracking application on. To solve these problems, we decided to take a trip to the Apple Store in Brea Mall and see if they could straighten out all the problems. Secondly, my mentor and I discussed some steps we need to take in order to move my project forward and I talked to him about leaving a message with Mrs. Ortega and verifying the hours I've done with him. Last but not least, I introduced sort of an idea for the company's head programmer which was integrating some sort of text alert system into the Sygmatech app so that users can be notified when a particular asset enters a geofence.

2.) the most important thing I've learned while working over the break with my mento is patience. Whether it's waiting for a response from our head programmer in the UK or waiting for a new unit to secure a satellite connection, everything, takes time, and sometimes it can't all be done right here right now.

3.) If I were going to perform a 10 question interview on someone, I would choose Mr. Hans Molin. Mr. Molin has worked for Volvo Cars and is currently working on safety systems for commercial trucks at Bendix Truck Systems. I contacted him through one of my moms friends and I will be visiting his job later this month. Having this kind of expertise with automobiles and safety systems, Mr. Molin is the perfect guy to talk to regarding my project and current EQ.
