Blog 23: 2014 Interview

1) I interviewed Carlos Cerrillos and he is in Mrs Edward's house.

2) Something computer programming related and robotics related and that's because I am interested in it and i already kinda already know how to do some of the stuff and i also want it to be my future career path.

3) Well there is proffesor that i already found that works up at Cal Poly that needs help working on programs analyzing data so i'll probably go with that but I'm not sure if i'll stick with it and try to find someone else at JPL or something.

4) Well i hope to see more of the two hour presentation since im not really sure what is required from it and i actually heard that you dont really present for two hours, so i want to just see more about it.

5) Q: Is it hard? a lot of work?
A: It can be stressful and it's a lot of work but if you get everything done on time then you'll be good since at the end everything comes together so you're not doing everything at once at the very end.

Q: Is the work spread out?
A: All the work is pretty spread out so you actually have time to do them but in between those projects you have other things to focus on within your core and you have to be able to manage your time.

Q:What is the average time frame for each project?
A: Yea for the most part but you have other things that can go longer such as that of independent components which can go on for two months or so and you always have time but you just have to make sure to do them.

Blog 3: Interview Preparation

1) For my interview I plan to interview the mentor that i had during the summer, Allen Mata. I plan to interview this person because He helped me out tremendously during the summer and made me realize that producing EDM or music in general is not as easy as it looks like. He also know more and has more experience that I hope to acquire as time progresses. He also went step by step with all the basic information that I needed to learn prior to do anything else and was explained in detail and very well.
