Back in ATL next week for another round of #RenderATL! I’ll be into every session I can, but this year I’m also helping attendees level up their LinkedIn game with professional headshots at the torcdotdev booth. Fresh fade? Styled up? Let’s make it official 📸

On the latest episode of “Catching Up on Life with ‘Fire’ Jordyn Wallace”: - We talked about our current projects - Why life > job - And yes… a “Blooming Onion” vape flavor is officially in POC AI won’t deliver the jokes, reactions, or real conversations—so make humans count!

Want to wish a happy ⭐ Nurses Week ⭐ to all those amazing human beings that help patients, families, and loved ones go through some of the most difficult times of their lives. Keep rocking ladies and gentlemen 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

🚑 About to embark on another data journey. Ever wonder how hospitals track patient movement (i.e. registrations, admissions, transfers, discharge? I’m diving into how these events flow across systems to keep hospital logistics running. Data, literally on the move.

Community is always the cheat code. Whether you’re building your next MERN project, working in the garden, or reading a new book, having people around to share ideas and learn from makes everything better. Leon Noel and Danny Thompson know what's up -

My takeaways from the @freeCodeCamp podcast epi with @ossia and @acolombiadev, TMTC (Too Many to Count), every single topic covered here was mind-bending! New favorite quote: "Re-rack your dang weights after use 💪!"

How to teach yourself programming with GitHub's Andrea Griffiths [Podcast #199]

Today Quincy Larson interviews Andrea Griffiths, who taught herself programming using freeCodeCamp while working in construction. She moved to the US from Colombia when she was 17, and within 6 months she joined the US Army. She ran a chain of gyms before landing a support role at a tech company, th

Choosing the right tool can be tricky. For example, to hang a painting, you need a screwdriver—not an impact driver. Always weigh scenarios, benefits, and use cases. I built an algorithm tool to help identify the best analytics solution for each situation.

A year ago, when I joined my analytics team I wondered, how are external tools utilized in healthcare? Interfaces (RESTful APIs), enable real-time communication. One of the most commonly used interfaces is HL7, which defines message formats for data exchange.

@jordynww.bsky.social isn’t just a blogger or ambassador—she’s a friend I made in the mad house we call @torc.dev (jkjk). She’s helped so many (me included!) that we’ve dubbed her “Tech Barbie.” Brains 💻, heart 💖, style 👠 she’s got it all. Cheers friend!

Yesterday, #100Devs talked about crafting a story that gets you hired! Today @grahammcbain.bsky.social who went from bootcamp grad to Senior Developer Advocate working on Amp Code is Telling their story, breaking down the agentic coding space, & giving everyone free credits in 30 mins!

I promise I wasn’t talking to myself 🤣 Had and awesome convo with @opaleyesky.bsky.social whom I met at @commityourcode.bsky.social We shared our experiences, anecdotes growing up in a hispanic home, and yes red haired Shakira is the best version of her 😎

Open Source is one engine behind today’s data revolution. Python building, React displaying, PostgreSQL storing, and Linux running the show. #RenderATL is highlighting the heroes behind Open Source Contribute, Collaborate, Innovate.

Last week, I traveled to Dallas for @commityourcode.bsky.social   From Pickleball to karaoke, tech convos to socials; there is a thing for everyone here.   I left Texas with a smile, new friends, and the book on AI, ready to tackle and apply what I learned!

Started my reading on Design Patterns. - Creational focuses on object creation, ensuring flexibility and reusability - Structural deals with object composition, simplifying relationships - Behavioral manages object interaction, enhancing communication

After a refreshing week offline with family and loved ones, I'm back and ready to innovate. This week, I'm working on developing a dynamic system for building dashboards and components.

Took a break from social media to spend it with the family. Battery is recharged, tons of things to work on!

Trying to step out of my if-else logic comfort zone. Decided to test switch-case conditionals instead. Starting to see where I can apply more switches

Testing Nullish coallescing operator [??]. In short, if the left-side expression is null or undefined, it will return the right-side expression. Since we have no room number assigned, it will return the "Room not assigned" message.

Testing controller code for submitting transport requests. Image is optional, but name, date of birth, and locations are required to ensure the correct patient logistics. So far, it's working! Can't wait to break the app again and figure out the new errors.

Starting to like TypeScript more each day. Testing hospital logistics by calculating occupancy. Best way to learn a new concept? Write code: bed definitions are clear, but understanding the difference in physical/licensed/staffed beds is the tricky part.

The three legends of the industry (@dthompsondev.bsky.social, @quincy.bsky.social, & @leonnoel.bsky.social) are back at it again, this time with our Torc MC/golfer Jason!!! Can't wait for this convo on modern Web. See you there!

This past week was busy! I completed my Clinical Data Models class, tested some builds in WebStorm, and learned a bunch of neat features on coding with AI agents (GitHub Copilot, Junie, and RooCode). Time to touch grass!

The team over at @thisdotlabs.bsky.social came through with the swag drop, huge thanks to Tracy, @dthompsondev.bsky.social, and everyone who made the last AI mini conference happen. Let’s keep committing to the progress, not just the agent. www.youtube.com/watc...

Big week ahead! I'll be taking my next class, Clinical Data Models. This course will help me get more exposure to core tables and clinical concepts, while still combining Caboodle and Clarity data points. Excited to enhance my skills to the next level! #ClinicalData

Today I had the pleasure of chatting with @technolangey.bsky.social! By the way, Arsenal is definitely taking the EPL this season, no doubts about it. You've been a fantastic colleague since day one, and it's been great to see all the amazing things you're working on. #TorcAmbassador
