Week 2: How Are We Going To Make It?

Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you this week. I’ve been accepted into the prestigious Echelon Fit program at Full Sail University, where I’ll have the incredible opportunity to dive into the world of fitness software development tailored to exercise machines. This fantastic opportunity perfectly aligns with my long-standing goals of both hardware and software development, and I can’t wait to embark on this exciting journey!

You know, I’ve come across advertisements for Echelon Fit’s AI-powered resistance weight machine in the past, but I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d get a chance to contribute to a project like this. It’s a true honor and privilege to be a part of this program, and I’m determined to make the most of it.

As I prepare to take on this challenge, I’ve already started gearing up for the work ahead. Since I’ll be working with Android Studio and Java, I’ve taken the initiative to set up my development environment. I’ve got Android Studio up and running on my trusty Mac, updated it to the latest version, and made sure I have the most recent JDK (Java Development Kit) in place. Additionally, I’ve installed various Android SDK targets and downloaded a handful of different emulators to ensure I’m fully equipped for any development scenario.

While I do have extensive experience with Java Virtual Machine (JVM) languages, including Kotlin and Scala, I want to ensure that I’m at the top of my game for this project. To achieve this, I’m planning to dive into some coding exercises across different JVM languages in the coming weeks. This way, I’ll be fully prepared to tackle the challenges that lie ahead in the Echelon Fit program.

I can’t express how grateful I am for this opportunity, and I’m excited to keep you all updated on my journey as I work towards earning my bachelor’s degree. Stay tuned for more exciting coverage next week! Your support means the world to me.
