First Weekly Reflection


This week, I deepened my understanding of AI prompts and how their design can shape learning outcomes. I realized that many effective prompts have already been created by others who were thinking along the same lines as I was, which made it easier to build on their work.

I also advanced my technical learning path by creating an AWS DevOps roadmap and comparing it with the role of an Azure Developer. With the help of AI, I was able to generate a clear, structured learning plan in just a few clicks.



something that would have taken me hours of manual research. This experience showed me the power of combining my own initiative with AI tools to speed up learning and career planning.

 What are the top 3 items that you are good at, and what are the top three areas you feel you are weak in?   Weakness  When I reflect on my study skills, I can see areas where I am developing strengths as well as places I still need improvement. One of my current weaknesses is my study space. While I know it should be a quiet and comfortable place, I am still transitioning from my house setup and often find myself distracted, which makes it harder to stay focused.  Another weakness is my note-taking. Although I do take lecture notes, I realize they could be improved. For example, during a group project, I created some HTML and JavaScript for our website, but I should have taken better notes earlier in the process to manage my time more effectively.  A third weakness is staying consistent with organizing my study sessions; while I gather materials before writing, sometimes I delay starting, which slows down my momentum.

My Educational Goal in the CS Program My goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the software lifecycle so I can confidently plan, design, implement, and maintain projects from start to finish. I also want to strengthen my knowledge of databases and algorithms, so that I can not only understand the theory but also apply it effectively in real situations. Along the way, I will develop projects that showcase both lifecycle principles and solid use of databases and algorithms, giving me tangible work to highlight my skills. My Career Goals My career goal is to transition into a software development or DevOps role where I can apply my knowledge of the software lifecycle, databases, and algorithms to build efficient, reliable systems. I want to earn certifications in cloud computing (AWS or Azure) and use those skills to design and maintain scalable solutions that make a real impact in an organization. Within the next few years, I envision myself working as a developer or DevOps engi...

Industry Expert Interview – Exploring Career Paths and Industry Trends For this assignment I interviewed John Silva, a software engineer who has worked at several well-known companies. I chose John because he has moved around the industry, tried different roles, and built a lot of experience along the way. He’s also been something of a mentor for me we’ve bounced ideas off each other as developers, and I’ve looked to him for advice as I’ve been shaping my own career path after moving to California. John started by sharing how his career developed. He didn’t follow one set path but moved through different companies and projects, each time picking up new skills. He explained that while it’s important to know the technical side, being adaptable has been the real key. In tech, new frameworks and tools come out all the time, and he said you’ll drive yourself crazy trying to master everything. Instead, he focuses on learning the fundamentals, problem solving, and keeping up the ability t...
