Wagmo’s Post

Last month, our VP of Engineering, Dean McRobie, joined a passionate group of individuals to serve as a judge at Pursuit Demo Day. Pursuit is a social impact organization that trains adults with the most need and potential to gain their first tech jobs, advance in their careers, and become the next generation of leaders in tech. As a tech-first pet wellness company that believes the best innovations are achieved through the power of diversity, we support their mission! After close to a year of intense technical training, Pursuit Fellows spend six weeks working together in small teams to build an inspiring app. The completed apps are presented at Demo Day. We asked Dean to share his key takeaways from the event: 👨🏽💻 AI’s Impact on Learning Technology: The widespread availability of AI is revolutionizing how people learn and interact with technology. Each team showcased innovative machine learning applications as integral parts of their projects, highlighting AI’s transformative role in tech education. 📚 Holistic Approach to Tech Education: Entering the tech field is increasingly about understanding how various components work together, rather than just mastering syntax and frameworks. 💼 Comprehensive Career Transitions: Successful career transitions in tech involve more than just acquiring new skills. They also require access to networks, connections and the flexibility to adapt when things don’t go as planned. It’s clear that Pursuit is paving the way for a more inclusive and innovative technology landscape. Thank you to Dean for these insights and helping to drive this movement forward! #Tech #Technology #Innovation #WorkforceDevelopment

As the leaves begin to change, so should your pet care routine! Here are 5 tips from the Wagmo team to keep your four-legged kids happy and healthy this fall: 🩺 Vet Check-Ups: Ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations and health screenings. 🍠 Seasonal Diet: Add fall superfoods like pumpkin and sweet potato into your pet’s diet for a nutritious boost. Be sure to check with your vet first to confirm amounts and any sensitivities. 🌳 Outdoor Activities: Cooler weather is perfect for longer walks and outdoor play. 🐕 Coat Care: Regular grooming helps manage shedding and keeps coats shiny. Wagmo estimates a visit to the groomer can cost up to $90. Lucky for you, grooming is included in Wagmo Wellness membership. 🦟 Prevent Pests: Fall foliage is fun, but it also brings the risk of pests. Continue using preventative treatments for fleas and ticks. With comprehensive pet wellness and insurance plans, taking care of your best bud has never been easier.
