Hey @Jay-sanjay , just some additional thoughts:
- Make sure to include what you weren't able to finish in the fellowship period and mention some interruptions
- Make sure to include screenshots where it makes sense (like of the docs, etc.)
- Run the blog through grammarly or an online grammar checking service. Noticed awkward grammar here and there that could help with checking out your blog writing.
- Can you include Julia code snippets where it makes sense?
Overall, I like the direction you are going with the post! Looks great so far and I am eager to see more updates. Thanks! 😃

This looks much improved and great! I left a bunch more comments and we are almost there! Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, if you could run this through grammar checking services, that would be excellent to check for grammar and typos. Keep up the good work @Jay-sanjay !!!

| **2. Loading the PostgreSQL Database** | ||

| The main database we worked on/built analysis was the freely available OMOPCDM Database. However, I was provided with some more extra synthetic data from my mentor for further testing of the functionalities. Being a very large database we had to strategically download it further, my mentor helped me in setting up the Postgres on my local machine. Once, the database was set up proper testing was performed on it to check if things were as expected. With this, we were done with the database setup as well and could finally dive into the actual code logic for the Pathways synthesis. |

We can actually put your report on Zenodo in a little bit so as to link the database too which will be neat.

| # Project Description | ||
| As part of this project with JuliaHealth, I developed a new package called [**OMOPCDMPathways.jl**](https://github.com/JuliaHealth/OMOPCDMPathways.jl). This package is designed for deployment in research projects, particularly those related to health and medical data analysis. This project takes much inspiration from [this](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016926072200462X?via%3Dihub) paper and explores the implementation of some of those ideas to develop new tools within the JuliaHealth Observational Health Subecosystem for exploring patient pathways. Additional new features and approaches were added and explored within this project. Additionally, I have authored a developer guide for the package, providing instructions on its use and contribution. This project provided me with hands-on experience in developing production-level code and exposed me to open-source software development practices. I had the opportunity to work in a team, under my mentor, and ensured the integration of the package with the rest of JuliaHealth, facilitating its adoption and usability within the community. |

It would be great to actually cite the paper via this: https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/citations.html and to mention the name of the paper and authors in the post here.

Can you also link the developer guide too?
