Final Project – MIS2402

In my MIS 2402 course at Temple University, I worked on a project where I used AI tools to help build and deploy two web-based calculators. My job was not just to generate the code using an AI chat application, but to actually test it, fix any issues, and get it running on a live web server using Bitvise. The first calculator was a loan repayment tool that figures out monthly payments and total interest based on a loan amount and APR. For the second one, I came up with my own idea and built an Investment Growth Calculator that helps users see how their money can grow over time based on things like monthly contributions and compound interest, which is useful for planning things like retirement or saving for college. Both applications were built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap, and I had to make sure they handled bad or missing user input without crashing. The biggest thing I took away from this project is that AI can be a really helpful tool for writing code, but you still need to understand what the code is doing well enough to catch mistakes and make it actually work the way it is supposed to.
