Never Done Learning

I want to start this post with a thank you to everyone who has followed along this far. I started this blog while preparing to attend The Tech Academy boot camp where I learned software development and Agile project management. Wile posting here I also started a software development internship at Providence Health Plan and built several exciting and challenging projects on my own to push myself to learn new frameworks and technologies.

My favorite part of software development is that the learning is never over! My passion for learning is the main driver that got me into this field, and it will continue to push me forward as I graduate from boot camp and head out into the Portland tech scene to meet new, exciting people to work with. In case you haven’t had the opportunity to follow along this far, I wanted to use this post to include links to some of my favorite projects I’ve worked on.

Portfolio Hi-lights:

.NET, C#

• Live Project working on an Agile team to build a MVC/MVVM web application using C# and .NET
• Red Fox University a .NET MVC application built in C#, using LINQ, Razor, and more
• Unit Tests some examples of C# unit tests I wrote during my internship at Providence Health Plan
• Palindrome C# coding challenge I completed for my Providence Health Plan internship interview

SQL/T-SQL

• Query Templates I wrote for use updating materials on our Customer Service Support team at Providence Health Plan
• Library Database a detailed, T-SQL project I completed while at The Tech Academy

JavaScript

• Customer Service Tools browser tools for our Customer Service and CS Support teams at Providence Health Plans, written using JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Bootstrap 4
• Dani’s Animals 3 a RESTful web application I built using Node.js, MongoDB and Express
• Album Tags an API-network-driven, RESTful web application built using Node.JS, MongoDB, Express, and Bootstrap 4, integrating two Apple Music API’s and other tools like AJAX, parsing JSON, Firebase Authentication, and more

I plan to continue to update this blog from time to time as I learn more in my internship (and on my own!) I hope there is something here to help others who aren’t sure about the process of learning software development, or at least something to make you smile while watching me make my way. Feel free to contact me if you have any feedback or questions, and thanks for reading!
