This is the space for all of my projects that I've done as well as other cool long-term stuff that I've worked on.
During my 2024 Fall Semester at ISU, I got the opportunity to work on a personal finance tracker with three other students. In doing so, I learned a lot about project management, coding, and most importantly the massive impact that a well thought out planning document can have on the success of developing a software. There were some things that could have potentially been improved, but overall I think we did very well. This project gave me a lot of understanding when it comes to working with other people on large projects and just how necessary it is to have version control software like GitHub.
While not exactly a "project" as you would expect, I do LeetCode to keep my skills up. I really got into it during the Summer of 2024, where I was working a front desk job at my School's Recreational Center and was allowed to work on anything related to professional development, as long as my job duties remained unhindered. Doing LeetCode was great for my critical thinking skills as a programmer, as many problems need to be worked out on paper first to help understand the theory behind the problem.
I am currently working on the Advent of Code 2024 which is similar to LeetCode in that you are given problems to solve using coding and math, but different as there are far less constraints in how you are allowed to do things, which I find enjoyable.
