Projects on GitHub
Written in C#, this project uses databases with many-to-many relationships in order to connect venues with bands that play at them. The program allows the user to add Venue and Band objects and uses a JOIN table and JOIN statements to link the two where necessary.
This project uses C# and a database to create Stylists and their list of Clients. The program uses a one-to-many relationship to add a Client object with relevant information to a specific Stylist.
The program is a practice of using databases with C#. It creates two Models for an inventory list: Item and Column. Using a column_id, each item can be connected to a particular column.
This project is built in C#. It highlights the use of the MVC format for producing a web-based product. The address book utilizes two classes. The Contact class utilizes the Address class. Contacts can be inputted and displayed either as a whole on the index page or individually by clicking on the link that has been generated. The page also allows for a user to clear the contacts as a whole or delete an invididual contact.
This project utilizes C# in order to practice more than one model at a time. It also utilizes Address Books in order to link CDs to a particular artist.
This program uses Javascript to display a form for users to order custom pizzas and input their delivery address. The customer customizes their pizza with veggie toppies, size, and crust type. Once the individual pizza order is submitted, a hyperlink is created to store the pizza details on the side. Clicking on that hyperlink displays the details. Multiple pizzas can be ordered this way.
This project allows a user to play Ping-Pong. Javascript is separated into various functions to support modularity. Multiples of 3 are replaced by "ping". Multiples of 5 are replaced by "pong". Multiples of 15 are replaced by "pingpong". The program also allows users to create their own Ping-Pong game with their own multiples and words.
This project uses functions in Javascript to convert an inputted Arabic Numeral to a Roman Numeral.
This page involves a Javascript survey with radio buttons on user preferences. Based on answers, the survey recommends a programming language to study. The user may also click on the side column to see a description of the languages.
This is my project for the end of my first week at Epicodus. It has sections to link and describe my projects on github and gives information about my background, interests, and experiences. It showcases my use of HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap tools.
This project is a mock-up of a Wikipedia page screenshot that has been saved Epicodus. It utilizes Bootstrap functions, specially wells and panels.
This is a webpage that acts as a homepage for a cupcake shop, Kaili and Kim's Cupcake Shoppe. The shoppe provides Organic and Kosher cupcakes with locally sourced ingrediants. There are also gluten-free options. This was an opportunity to use HTML and CSS style elements.
This is a webpage lecture about Boring, Oregon. I utilizes the Lorem Ipsum text.
This is a webpage that represents a resort on the Twelve O'One Island. The page utilizes a variety of HTML options.
This is page that is starting to help me work through ideas of creating a student network. I began this site before starting my developer training at Epicodus, and it reflects my efforts to learn and implement HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

Hobbies and Interests
I am interested in learning new things. This desire to be a life-long learner has led me to explore a variety of different subjects. A classic literature kick brought me to Jules Verne and Mark Twain. My desire to better communicate with my community brought me to study Spanish in Guatemala. My interest in the Jewish community motivated me to enhance my Hebrew skills. My interest in education has helped me think and learn more about what people want and need. My interest in problem solving and creativity has led me to pursue a career in the tech field as a software developer.
Coding Background
Though my dad was a programmer, my first shot at actual programming was studying Pascal, Perl, and HTML in high school. As a physics major, I continued my programming eduation with 3 computer science courses including the languages C and C++. I then went several years until restarting my programming adventure. I took a 6-week online Java course from the local community college. I then continued to study Java on my own. This included working with NetBeans, SQL, MySQL Workbench, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Why I Want to be a Developer
Two things that motivate me to program: enjoyment and practicality.
First of all, I want to program for a simple reason - I enjoy it. I like the logic and creativity of programming. This involves knowing a different sort of language and syntax than we are used to and also often includes an awesome detective search of why something doesn't work or where something goes wrong. We can't write a program all at once. But just like life, we can break off the pieces and tackle each one, one at a time.
Second of all, there are things that I want to do with computers. We are part of the information age. I have been a part of the educational system for most of my life, most recently for 10 years as a high school teacher. It seems clear that technology, in its many forms, is here to stay. I believe we must embrace technology in order to make it work for us and not against us. It is a vision. Software will make it a reality.
