Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. The last 7 days in Kenya have been very busy for me. I am starting to get into the more complex aspects of my Drop Access internship project. I am in the process of redesigning 4 walls of the VacciBox, a solar powered...

Hey everyone (for all those who read), this past week was a fun one here in Costa Rica. To start off, a little update on work at Resonetics. I am wrapping up the two initial projects I was tasked with at the start of the internship and got the opportunity to take on...
