Launching a career in software development was something I never envisioned myself doing. But I found myself facing the big life questions in 2020, like “what do you want to contribute to the world?” At that time, a friend described what she enjoyed about her career as a software developer. She phrased her work as “problem solving,” and that sounded incredibly appealing.
I did research on what it meant to be a software developer. I started with self-paced classes on Team Tree House, then tried out NSS’s jumpstart class, before enrolling in their full-time boot camp because I found that I enjoyed using logic in JavaScript, my creativity that CSS lends itself to, and the teamwork building an app requires.
The following are a sample of the applications that I have created either as part of my classwork, or as a practice project executed on my own. Click on each picture for details on the project.
We used React starting from Glassdale in the front end, and picked it back up in the backend on the final Group Project.
Pre-work was kicked off with JavaScript, and we dug into it further throughout the front-end.
Divs. Articles. Sections. What's not to like.
Some people hate it. Some people love it. I am among the latter. If you love the backend: you're welcome.
Dear Microsoft: is there a position open in your naming department? If not, how come?
Between photoshop and canva. I'll take Canva with a small side of photoshop.
Dear Microsoft, again with the naming thing. Really?
Where every css project starts: the color pallet. Thank you, coolers. You rock.
Code .
VS, you sure are wonderful. But when is autosave going to be available?
To help understand data flow, we used dbDiagram to build our Entity Relationship Diagrams, starting with the class project: Glassdale.
Plan. Plan. And then plan some more. Figma was an awesome resource for mapping out wireframes and event listener flow charts, throughout my time at NSS.
Being able to add images to my capstone project was a great feature! Cloudinary uploaded and stored photos that users chose for their profile picture.
You know you might be new to git, if you keep accidentally typing get.
Is anyone else amazed that this awesome resource is free? Thank you, GitHub!
I may wear glasses, but I can still C#.

SOLO PROJECT |
View CodeSplitzies is for those amoung us who enjoy going out in the world to do things that cost money with friends! It is the solution to figuring out how much you owe to who, given how much you have already paid into the event - or rather, the splitz. As a full CRUD application, the user is provided with a list of their splitz upon login, which they can update as they go. They can add, edit or delete expenses and details of the splitz. Or start a new splitz altogether, in which they can also add friends to. As the splitz goes on, and expenses are added, the user is given back three key numbers: the portion they are responsible for, how much they still owe and how much they owe to who.
