I took over a Product Management role officially in August 2021. Coming from an engineering education and research background, product management requires a wildly different skillset from what I had used in the past. I wrote a little about some of the first five things I learned in the first couple months in this role.
I've always wanted to host a website that I built myself that I can use as a creative outlet and a way to learn more about software. Garrett York (Software Engineer at Driveline Baseball) did some peer education classes as an extracurricular at work in 2019 to show how websites work which is when I started putting the code together. I finally learned enough about how to actually host the website and push it live, so I wrote a blog describing most of that process.
