My name is Kat, and I grew up in the Portland area of Oregon.
I am married to a U.S. Navy sailor and we have two sweet children, 7 and 5.
The last several years we have lived around the country but I am glad to be back in the Pacific Northwest!
I have always enjoyed computers, but became seriously interested in coding after talking to my brothers about it
as they both work in the field. So this summer I took a leap and began training at The Tech Academy and loved it.
I am proud to say I have finished the boot camp and am now a full-stack junior software developer!
I trained at The Tech Academy which provides a well-rounded education in software development.
The languages I have learned and worked with are:
-HTML and css
-Javascript
-SQL
-and C#
I also used many valuable development tools including:
-Git/GitHub
-Visual Studio
-Microsoft SQL Server
-Azure DevOps
-Team Foundation Server
-MVC
-.NET Framework
-Agile/SCRUM
The Live Project was an incredible experience of working with a team of my peers using Visual Studio with MVC, Azure DevOps, and Team Foundation Server.
I created an auto insurance website using ASP.NET in Visual Studio. The user inputs requested information and a quote is generated. All the data input and the generated quote is stored in a SQL server. An admin view allows a view of all the users and their data.
This was a fun project where I created a schema for a public library system, populated it, and executed queries for the information stored in its database.
My pizza ordering webpage is a html/javascript collaboration that allows the user to customize a pizza and then recieve the total price based on what they have chosen.
I did this as a fun application after teaching myself about entity framework code first databases. It is a console application that prompts the user about their grocery list that it then stores in a table and displays the whole list back to the user at the end of the application.
Here I made a webpage that lists movies and their showing times using html, css, and bootstrap.
