I wrote these for OEIT’s contribution to the President’s Report (an annual report on our activities). These correspond pretty well to the “Completed Major Achievements” category that I track for my work related activities and accomplishments (which ones I report for a given time period is kinda wacky having to do with when we do… Continue Reading Recap of the Big Things I did at work in 2011-2012
