Zoom In Reflection

The clearest example of my ability to create opportunities has been my experience with improving different projects. The first project that I have had extensive experience with building has been my mobile app for scheduling. My friend and I identified a recurring problem that our friends have, and we set forth building a solution to that problem. The second opportunity I created involved a close friend’s fitness tracker. He asked me to build a spreadsheet for his clients to track personal progress on. The spreadsheet I built was identical in function to other sites like myfitnesspal, with features that tailored things such as macros with a simple value change. The things I have created have benefitted my close friends. My ability to create opportunities is decent, but I believe it can be further improved upon.
