In early September, I began a coding challenge called the #100DaysOfCode Challenge. Basically, it challenges you to commit to coding for 1 hour a day for 100 days, and sharing your progress, questions, and thoughts on Twitter with the hashtag, #100DaysOfCode. I had no idea if I would finish 100 days (it’s a lot of…

New Year’s Reflection: Slow Down
Living in the chaos that is New York City, breathing the cold, dry winter air, and tumbling around on the subway in rush hour with millions of others, it is often jarring to come to a sudden stop, look around, and realize where I am. What am I doing? Where am I going in such…
Baby’s First Ever #Hackathon!
October was a rush and a blur. I did many things in the past month, but as the title suggests, one of the biggest “wins” was that I participated in my first ever Hackathon!
