  1. What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?
    The waterfall method goes through 5 steps. The requirements portion sets up the overall setup instructions for development. The technical portion is where software architects design what the app should look like. Then implementation is when the developers build the application based on the previous steps. Then quality assurance team verifies the program and tests for bugs. The final step is releasing the program to the user. The problem with waterfall is it is one long process and users have little interaction during development. This is where agile is more effective. Unlike the long process of waterfall, agile workflow works in multiple 2 week sprints. The advantage of this method is that it allows users to submit feedback in increments before the final product. The steps are the same as waterfall except you do them quicker and repeat the process multiple times until the program is finished. The downside to agile is the

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
Empathy has helped me in my personal and professional life. As a medic in the military it was important to empathize with patients as well as co-workers who were going through tough times. As an Uber driver, I pick up people from all walks of life. One ride I'll be picking up a poor student or blue collar worker and dropping them off in their small apartment they can barely afford, and the next passenger will be heading from an expensive restaurant out to their 8-bedroom mansion. It is very important for me to deal with everybody in the same manner and not treat people differently.
How does empathy help you build better software?
Empathy will help me build better software because I can associate with all users and putting myself in their shoes while building a program. Listening to your users without empathy will create an undesirable program design. Their input is important because you want to create a long-lasting relationship

Professional Development Exercise

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?
I think my greatest strength is my ability to empathize with others. Even though I don't always have the same experiences as others, I can find a way to walk in their shoes and understand what they're going through. I am very open-minded and can fit in with anybody because of my professional history working in a courthouse, clinic, and in the service industry as a rideshare driver. I do not get easily offended or turned off so I can work with almost anybody even when our views of the world are different.
How do you work best?
I work best in an environment with great leadership and opportunity to grow. I've had jobs where I was stuck in the same pattern with no forseeable way out of my position. Although I did the best I could, I feel like working with an experienced team helps motivate me to be the best that I can be. My current job as a rideshare driver is fun because I can talk with others and I believe that everybody knows something that I d
