Dallas, Tx

Summer in Texas

I have not updated my blog in so long it seems. I was hoping to write at least one post a week but I am no where near my goal. With all that being said, I want to provide an update on what I’ve doing in my life. I have been working in Texas for the last two months as an iOS Engineer for GF-17.

Background: GF-17 is a startup based in Dallas, Texas. We’re currently working on our first product, Coded. It will definitely change the way people manage their life and I can not wait to see it in the hands of users. My time here has been truly amazing and I can only thank the people that have allowed me to live in their home as if I were family.

Living in Texas is a truly different experience when you compare it to living in North Carolina. I can say though, without a doubt, moving here after graduation is highly likely. The people are friendly, the culture is lively, and the food is amazing!

The people I’ve had my experience with are truly amazing as well. Cam, who is the CEO of GF-17, is someone who I see as a brother and great friend. He has done everything possible to make my experience here the best. We’ve been to Top Golf, J. Cole’s Dollar and A Dream Concert (almost made it in!), and so much more.

Top Golf was truly amazing too! Even though I talked so much crap and said I would win, I definitely lost.

From Top Golf, to running with the crowd to see J. Cole was fun.

I even had the chance to visit a Tesla store and sit inside of my dream car! Hopefully I’ll own one soon.. time will tell 🙂

With all being said, I have to say the best experience was visiting Cam’s fiancè, Kam, ranch. We saw so much and I can’t wait to go back.

There is so much more I have to write about Texas but I will save it for another post. I love it here!
