This week, I have continued to optimize the query methods used in the Hendrix Assessment Project.

Hendrix Assessment Update 1

Posted on September 15, 2023

It took some time getting started with the Hendrix Assessment project. The code isn’t particularly well documented, so I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how everthing works.

This said, it’s been a somewhat difficult process figuring... [Read More]

I'm Back

Posted on August 28, 2023

For the first week back at Disco Tray, I’ve been working on fixing some minor issues for VITAmin.

It took some time to refamiliarize myself with the... [Read More]

Arkansas Asset Builders Update 3

Posted on October 15, 2022

There’s been a lot of progress made so far. There is a semi-functional filter screen now, but we came to the realization that there’s a problem with how the database is set up, so it isn’t completely functional yet. That said, we did remodelled the database and are working on... [Read More]
