I was hoping to write at least one post a week but I am no where near my goal.\u00a0With all that being said, I want to provide an update on what I&#8217;ve doing in my life. I have been working in Texas for the last two months as an <strong>iOS Engineer<\/strong> for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/gf-17.com\" target=\"_blank\">GF-17<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong>: GF-17 is a startup based in Dallas, Texas. We&#8217;re currently working on our first product,\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Coded<\/span><\/strong>. It will definitely change the way people manage their life and I can not wait to see it in the hands of users.\u00a0My 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.<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>The people I&#8217;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&#8217;ve been to Top Golf, J. Cole&#8217;s Dollar and A Dream Concert (almost made it in!), and so much more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jamonek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/summer-in-texas-41\/img_0977\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_0977\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977-576x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-image-44 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.jamonek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0977\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0977.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"45\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/summer-in-texas-41\/img_0978\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0978.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mac and Cheese Burger with tater tots\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0978-576x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-45 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.jamonek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0978-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mac and Cheese Burger with tater tots\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0978-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0978-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/jamone.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_0978.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Top Golf was truly amazing too!
