Abstract:

The portfolio comprises a technical project report of an internship experience designing and implementing a workplace reservation system as well as an STS research paper covering the prevalence of overambitious attitudes in Silicon Valley and their potential detrimental impact. The technical project and the STS project focus on different areas, but both involve software development. The technical report details a practical project while, in contrast, the STS research paper examines the need for a balance between ambitious visions and practical expectations in Silicon Valley startups.
