Talk Description: Increase your market worth by becoming a value-driven engineer
Companies do not hire people to fill in a position; companies hire people to generate more value for their customers, so customers pay them in return.
To be successful means to become obsessed with producing value, so the company has an essential return on their investment in you.
In this presentation, we will look into the 5 habits of value-driven engineers and how you can develop them.
Speaker Bio: Cristina Elena Nistor is a Romanian Computer Science graduate who started her career in IT in Mexico 17 years ago.Cristina always loved to travel but as a young graduate she was broke so when she got this internship at this Mexican company, her dream came true, she could travel the other side of the world while working to finance her adventures.
She became a digital nomad.
All the while Cristina has been working on developing her professional career and now she is the Director of Operations at TESTCo, a company that does software testing.
This role allowed her to implement a home office environment where everyone could live the life they love, either spending more time with their families or traveling around the world.

Career Talk: Don’t be irreplaceable, be invaluable!

Talk Format: 
45 minute webinar, ~25 min for an &quot;interview&quot; (moderated by another Empowerly employee) where she will ask Hanjoon questions related to the following four topics: 
<ul>
<li>His application story</li>
<li>Tips for younger hs students (extracurricular planning, how to prioritize your time, finding “technical” internships, etc.)</li>
<li>Tips for rising seniors applying for college this year</li>
<li>Things to think about after college admissions</li>
</ul>
Speaker Bio: Hanjoon is a Stanford graduate who studied Computer Science and Economics. As an immigrant from South Korea, Hanjoon had a dream instilled in him early - tackle and achieve your biggest dreams, starting with the college you want to attend. During high school, he was mainly focused on studying advanced math which included attending SUMaC (Stanford University Mathematics Camp). Along with excelling in academics, he was a well rounded applicant with extensive experience as a musician (cellist), athlete (tennis and basketball) and academic competitor (science bowl and quiz bowl). After graduating from Stanford University, Hanjoon joined Empowerly so that he could build products that empower the next generation of students to effectively pursue their own biggest dreams. Outside of work, Hanjoon is an avid Chipotle consumer and self-proclaimed ramen connoisseur.

AMA: An AMA Session With a Video Game Music Composer

Talk Description: Data Visualization, aka &quot;dataviz&quot;, is much more than drawing some pretty charts; it&#39;s a process of discovering &amp; communicating insights derived from data. As software developers, we are luckily swimming in data about the apps we build, the users who interact with them, and the development workflows we use to build them. We may be used to looking at certain limited visualizations of that data - e.g. a simple line graph or bar chart presented by our analytics platform - but many developers don&#39;t realize that with very little time &amp; effort, we can build our own visualizations to dig deeper and answer the specific questions that really matter to us and our work.In this workshop, through a hands-on project we&#39;ll learn how to use Observable (<a href="https://observablehq.com">https://observablehq.com</a>), a browser-based reactive coding platform, to rapidly build insightful, interactive visualizations in JavaScript. After completing this workshop, you&#39;ll have the basic tools &amp; techniques you need to start using dataviz to better understand your code, your projects &amp; your users, and make better data-driven decisions as a developer.
Speaker Bio: Anjana suffers from a chronic case of curiosity, which led her from philosophy to English teaching to computational linguistics to software development. As a developer advocate at Observable, these days she codes &amp; teaches from her home base in San Francisco; in the before-times, you could find her speaking at events around the world. She loves to share the joy of programming and advocate for a more diverse, equitable, and ethical tech industry. Ask her about the Recurse Center &amp; Outreachy, she’s an alumna of both!

Not exactly happy with how it came out, but 2nd draft of the Alchemist Doctor set, designed to help with the alchemical transmutation plague

its not much buts its ~~honest work~~ funny

I added the ability to play in the settings like a piano because why not. I also added a progress bar and improved audio on misses to sustain for however long you hold it instead of always being a constant duration.

Just added stars in the menu based on score

Did some cool camera work, got an amazing picture of a robin nest with my phone

My fiancee and I took ring-making classes this morning. Bottom is the ring I made

The font size is wrong and the text didn't wrap and somehow this dialog box came out perfectly.

Character option 1:
Planet
Observation
Droid
(POD)

completed section map, now time for a material set

Added new slots to the HUD, will reveal what they are for tomorrow (or today, idk yet)

By the way, one of the main reasons I made a rhythm game is so I can do this:

HUD update, I will now begin working on levels after this

Why are behind-planet-looking-at-sun shots always cool

weapon switching with the full arsenal is now fully functional! 🥳

Finally, it shows music stuff (but doesn't make noise yet)

autoswitch demonstration (look at the ammo)

Gun Axe! Also I accidentally recorded part of a discord convo, sorry 😬

According to the Intersystem War Treaty of 2152, People are not allowed to destroy A.T.O.M.s, however, they can disuade their presence with some force

I made my asteroid texture with just a few layers of perlin noise and some color:

just finished the slides for my workshop later 👀 <:inkscape:819319655796834327>

As much as I love drawing breakfast burritos, I think I'll get back to programming since this is taking a long time...

There's a place in tech for everyone.
