Working with Sarah! For my Something Awesome Project, I had the pleasure of working with my dear friend Sarah Alameddine. Since we have now finished our project, I wanted to reflect a little on what we did right, what we didn’t, what I learned and so on
Reflection:
Sarah: Sarah has been an amazing partner and a team member. We have dived deep into the world of RFID together and really it was a wonderful journey. Throughout the Project, Sarah was well organised and always on the hunt for the next chapter in our research. There were moments where we knew we should be working but we had no direction. \
Sarah was on top of all the equipment we needed for the project... we ended up using 2 components out of the 45 she bought! I guess we were a little too excited and hasty. We both seemed to just jump at any lead we found and went all in on it. What I learned: Whilst working With Sarah I noticed how the difference in our individual drives towards a single project. I kept noticing myself lacking the drive to keep persistently tackling the topic and really relied on Sarah for the energy. We’d both go through different topics and collect these ‘findings’ then present them to each other. I also realised, Sarah was so much better than me at finding online resources while I kept trying to ‘roll on my own’. What I want to retain: 1. I want to focus on improving my drive by diving into more projects 2. I want to consciously tell myself to reach out to the world wide web for some world wide web standard solutions 3. I want to do more projects with Sarah We might even be attending Sydney Bsides together!
