Tech Development
(Senior Project)
My senior project took 1.5 years worth of learning and
work, and applied it at a school-wide level.

Goal(s):

● Clean out the 3rd floor electrical closet

● Fix computers that have broken down since the
summer of 2019
● Setup new computers for staff and classroom
use
● Setup new servers

Development and initial progress was smooth and

quick, but we were unable to complete the last goal,
● Phil’s room was also turned into a room for setting up
new computers
● Akimeka ended up becoming one of our best partners
for new equipment and computers
● Even though the project was a solo project, Nick and
Riki were heavily involved with various aspects of
the project
General Plans
- Move to Romania
- Study at the Tech Institute of
Bucharest

income.*
