Inside Fahmeena Odetta's Head

Blog by Fahmeena Odetta Moore. I trust in Almighty God ("But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.")


IT Background

My LinkedIn summary states that I “moved into the Information Technology (IT) field … [and] got off to a rocky start in IT, but changed the situation by completing a technical degree that trained … in the more technical areas of IT.”

The rocky start refers to the issues I had when I first entered the IT field. I was part of a training program that was fraught with problems. The company found issue with just about every individual who completed the program including the professor who signed up for the training. Even the rabbi who taught several courses ran into trouble. When we started working on a team/unit, I encountered all sorts of problems. I recall leaving a particular BA project team because of how the members behaved (the attitude and reporting). I heard that they replaced me with a “better” Analyst so I do not view my leaving the project as an issue.

I found that using prior experience pays off – that is the rounded experience I mentioned.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
