From dreaming of becoming a doctor to cooking up code, Gregory Gould, Developer at MOBI had a narrow view what tech was in his younger years, however a natural inclination to diagnosing and solving problems has lent well to his current role.
We caught up with Gregory to learn more about his career journey, his take on some of the common misconceptions about the role software developers play, as well as some career advice for others that might be considering tech as a career path. Thanks for sharing your story, Gregory.
And then I write down the instructions for the computer to do it for me, like chop onion, mix with salt, then fry. Then the computer follows the instructions I wrote faster than I can, over and over again.
Social engagement. Not only do you engage with a team of people who are trying to solve the same problems you are, but you also get to talk to and help people around the world who are trying to solve similar problems!
I grew up strongly wanting to be a doctor. I loved that how you were feeling was caused by something, and by identifying that something you could help people feel better or in the very least help them understand themselves.
As I grew up, I realised that computers are really similar to humans in a lot of ways, and that you could solve some very similar problems much faster and more broadly than in medicine, as well as enabling flexibility to do more than just your job.
Taking that notion, I decided to travel before deciding exactly what I wanted to do, and on a whim reached out to MOBI after experiencing their software. Two years later, the rest is history I got to travel and work in tech and work with people in similar situations everyday!
MOBI benefits from having a substantial breath of experience, attitude, and character. Some are better for certain tasks, and not for others, but overall a desire to solve problems, and the fortitude to make things better is something that will benefit all of us.

NURSERY & HOME TEMPERATURE - Comfortable and healthy environment. Thermometers that measure nursery and home temperature help create a comfortable and healthy living environment. Monitoring the temperature in nurseries or children's rooms ensures that the room is within the optimal temperature range for a child's well-being and sleep quality. By ensuring that the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, these thermometers contribute to improved comfort, better sleep, and overall well-being.
FOOD & LIQUID READINGS - Avoiding overcooking or overheating: In addition to food safety, thermometers that measure food temperature help prevent overcooking or overheating. Different foods require specific temperature ranges for optimal taste, texture, and nutritional value. By monitoring the internal temperature, users can accurately determine when to remove food from heat sources or ovens, preventing overcooking and maintaining desired quality. Thermometers that measure water temperature are valuable for various applications. Whether it's monitoring the temperature of hot water for bathing, preparing formula for infants, brewing coffee or tea, or achieving the ideal temperature for cooking or baking, these thermometers ensure precise control over water temperature.
MEMORY RECALL OF 9 READINGS - Tracking temperature trends: The ability to recall previous thermometer readings allows users to track temperature trends over time. This is particularly valuable when monitoring illnesses or tracking recovery progress. Users can compare current readings with past ones to identify patterns, changes, or fluctuations in body temperature. This information can help individuals and healthcare professionals make more informed decisions about treatments, interventions, or when to seek medical advice.
FAHRENHEIT & CELSIUS MODES - Simplified temperature conversion. Having both Fahrenheit and Celsius modes simplifies temperature conversion for users who are accustomed to one scale but need to interpret or compare temperatures provided in the other scale. Instead of relying on manual calculations or external conversion tools, users can easily switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius modes on the thermometer, eliminating the need for additional steps or potential errors in conversion.
NURSERY & HOME TEMPERATURE - Comfortable and healthy environment. Thermometers that measure nursery and home temperature help create a comfortable and healthy living environment. Monitoring the temperature in nurseries or children's rooms ensures that the room is within the optimal temperature range for a child's well-being and sleep quality. Similarly, in homes, monitoring the overall temperature helps maintain a comfortable living space for all occupants. By ensuring that the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, these thermometers contribute to improved comfort, better sleep, and overall well-being.
Every kitchen needs a gadget here or there to make cooking easier. Mobi gadgets are not only made with high quality materials but also fun to use. Using Mobi gadgets will be sure to bring a smile to your face.
MOBI INDIVIDUAL LAVENDER II is an individual project built on a 6-meter-long trailer by VLEMMIX. The cottage has a place to relax - a sofa bed, a hanging rocking chair and a coffee table. The kitchen has a desk in addition to a cooking area. The bathroom has a shower stall, a sink and preparation for a composting toilet. The bedroom is located on a mezzanine, which is partially separated from the rest of the cottage by a cabinet with shelves, making the floor more private. Noteworthy features include a beautiful round window and a milled wooden door to the bathroom. The boards of the facade were laid vertically and painted gray. The heating that was used is electric radiators and heating mats. An air conditioner was also installed in the bungalow. The interior has a Scandinavian style with lots of white, gray and wood.

Followers of mHealth should have learned by now not to be surprised by what health function your smartphone will serve next. Still and all, two new technologies are presenting a somewhat novel use case: scanning your food before you eat it. A recent proof-of-concept from UCLA turns your smartphone into a mobile lab that can test your food for a number of allergens, while a new commercial product from Russian startup Lapka tests for nitrates in produce, a hallmark of whether produce is truly organic.
Researchers at UCLA have developed a device that uses the iPhone camera to analyze food samples, searching them for food allergens. In about 20 minutes, the device can return a result about whether certain food allergens are in a sample, and how much of the allergen exists. It can currently identify peanuts, almonds, eggs, gluten and hazelnuts, and the app displays the concentration in parts per million.
About 4 to 6 percent of all US children under 18 have food allergies, according to the CDC, but that number appears to be rising. From 1997 to 2007 the number of children with food allergies went up 18 percent. People with food allergies get accustomed to reading ingredient lists and avoiding foods they can't eat. For those with severe allergies, however, even cross contamination, like cooking something in the same pan that was used to cook peanuts, can be deadly.
The team calls the device the iTube, and recently tested it on commercially-available cookies, publishing their results in the peer-reviewed journal Lab on a Chip. The iTube is a platform for conducting existing chemical tests for allergens called a colorametric assay, so its accuracy is already well-established.
At the moment, the test procedure is a little bit complicated for a commercial application. The food has to be ground up, mixed with hot water and extraction solvent, and then mixed with other liquids right before testing. The process takes about 20 minutes. But the device is still smaller and faster than anything on the market currently, according to lead researcher Aydogan Ozcan. Ozcan is the co-founder of Holomic, formerly known as Microskia, a company that worked on a low-cost microscope that leverages a smartphone.
