My Failure One (or rather many times) that I've failed this semester has to be in my Programming class. We get lab assignments almost every week, and when we don't, we usually get a big project. And from the very first lab assignment, I noticed the challenge that this class was going to be. The Professor, Joshua Fox The Great, has a rather interesting philosophy: he doesn't teach everything we'll ever need for our assignments or projects, just a good amount. If there are any specifics that we need (or as it is in most cases we don't need but still want to use) that's up to us to learn, research, and implement. And no, that's not a complaint. He is arguably the best instructor in U.F, let alone the CISE department. (Sorry Dr. Pryor) In every assignment, there was always that time when I thought this was harder than I had ever expected, after (surprisingly) cruising through Programming 1 without a problem. Yet, after an increasing amount of time with ever...
The Opportunity Well, as I explained in my Bug List post, mobile payments are overlooked by both people and retailers. But I believe that people can benefit from a standardized mobile payment service. So, humans have a natural need for easy things. All innovative creations are a direct result of someone trying to make life easier for everyone else. During my time at Publix, I noticed people both appreciating that the card readers had gotten twice as fast, and at the same time complaining that paying can still be a hassle sometimes. I also noticed people trying to use different types of gift cards, and the inconveniences associated with them. This need is mainly present in young people, since we are the most exposed to technology, and also the most up-to-date with its changes and latest features. There are also slightly older people who try to stay ahead of the tech curve, and might also greatly benefit from this change. It has sort of always been there, and is also sort of relat...
Who I am My name is Carlos Valencia. I am a Comp. Science major in the I.A. Some of my talents include analyzing information (sometimes too much), learning fast, flexibility in working environments, and different languages. I want to become a software developer, be it an independent one or in a tech company. I would hope that, if this business was to be launched, it was a catalyst for my career as a developer, and I would also hope that one of the big techies saw it, and tried to make their own version of it, because that means it’s working. What I offer I offer a better way to manage mobile banking, investments, and finances in the form of an app that acts as a global portal, like Canvas is for schools. From the app, you can access all your accounts, even if they are in different banks. This can standardize mobile banking, giving all banks access to the same features within the app, and making all bank pages easy to use. By doing this, security can be increased. If the por...
