LEARNER


I am a speech-language pathologist working in the acute care and outpatient settings, finding the intersection of innovative problem solving, evidence-based patient care, and the art of empathy.

I strive to be a life-long learner, and to that end I am diving into the world of web development.

Code Snippets


Temperature Conversion

This ruby program will prompt the user for a temperature in degrees Celsius and let the user know what the corresponding temperature is in Fahrenheit.

#prompt
puts "Enter degrees in Celsius:"
celsius=gets.to_f 

#method
def celsius_to_farenheit(c)
    c*1.8+32
end

#output
puts "That is #{celsius_to_farenheit(celsius)} degrees Farenheit."

#prompt
puts "Enter a number you want to make an ordinal:"
number = gets.to_i

#methods
def last_digit(number)
    number % 10
end

def last_two_digits(number)
    number % 100
end

def ordinateur(number)
    if last_two_digits(number) >= 11 && last_two_digits(number) <= 13
        return "th"
    
    elsif last_digit(number) == 1 
        return "st"
        
    elsif last_digit(number) == 2 
        return "nd"
        
    elsif last_digit(number) == 3 
        return "rd"
        
    else 
        return "th" 
        
    end
end

#output
puts "That's the #{number}#{ordinateur(number)} item!"

Ordinal Challenge

This ruby program will convert a plain number to the ordinal of the number. So for example, if the user enters 2, it will display 2nd, if the user enters 3, it will display 3rd, etc.


Foobar

This ruby program is an adaptation of a classic technical interview problem which displays sequences of the Foobar pattern.

#prompt
puts "How many items do you want to see?"
number_of_items = gets.to_i

#methods
def remainder_is_zero(dividend, divisor)
  if dividend % divisor == 0
    return true
  else 
    return false
  end
end

def foobar(number)
  foobar_array = []
  element_number = 1
  
  while element_number <= number    
    if remainder_is_zero(element_number, 3) && remainder_is_zero(element_number, 5)
      foobar_array << "foobar"     
    elsif remainder_is_zero(element_number, 3)
      foobar_array << "foo"      
    elsif remainder_is_zero(element_number, 5)
      foobar_array << "bar"    
    else 
      foobar_array << element_number
    end      
    element_number = element_number + 1    
  end
  
  puts foobar_array
end  

#output
puts foobar(number_of_items)

Web Apps


This section is a placeholder while I get started until I start producing my own work!

webapp one

A database-powered quote generator with a mobile-first design, using the Ruby on Rails framework, HTML, and CSS. Uses Git and GitHub for version control, and launched on Heroku.

Yelp Clone

A Yelp clone that integrates with the Google Maps API and includes features like user comments, star ratings, image uploading, and user authentication.


Two-Sided Market Place

A two-sided, video-streaming marketplace platform that features credit card payment capabilities, user role management, complex user interfaces, and advanced database relationships.

Test Driven Development

An Instagram clone that was built using industry-standard, test-driven development following numerous red/green/refactor cycles.


Single Page To-Do Application

This single-page to-do application features a fluid user interface that– by using JavaScript– allows users to rapidly add dynamic content.

Agile Team Project

Worked on an Agile software development team building a chess application. Under the guidance of a senior software engineer, we had weekly Agile team meetings for code reviews, sprint planning, and feature assignments.
