The AWS Academy Cloud Foundations certification is a comprehensive program designed to introduce learners to the core concepts of cloud computing and AWS services. I completed this certification as part of my MIS 3406 Cloud Architecture course, where I gained hands-on experience with key AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, and more. AWS Academy provided a robust understanding of cloud infrastructure, security, and architecture best practices. This certification enhanced my technical skills in cloud computing and demonstrated my ability to work with AWS tools and services for cloud-based projects.

Completing the AWS Foundations course through Canvas Academy was an enriching experience that provided a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing and the AWS platform. The course effectively combined theory and hands-on labs, covering topics like EC2 instances, S3 storage, and IAM. Two key takeaways were the advantages of cloud-native technologies and the business strategies AWS offers, such as scalable, server less solutions like Lambda that optimize operations. Additionally, I gained insights into AWS’s global infrastructure and how it supports business growth and agility. This course enhanced both my technical skills and my understanding of how cloud solutions can drive business efficiency.

Cosmic Escapes

The project I decided to work on, is called “Cosmic Escapes”. Cosmic Escapes is a fictional website that allows you to travel to different planets, as well as different galaxies and explore and enjoy the experience. Not only does it offer transportation to those planets, but it has pre-built luxury hotels, living spaces and amenities. It also has an option to calculate the total cost for your stay. Working on this project taught me a lot about implementing good looking designs and CSS, as well as using Javascript to give the user a smooth experience without any errors or issues.

Completing the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course provided me with a solid understanding of cloud computing concepts, AWS services, and best practices. Some key takeaways that I took include the benefits of cloud computing, such as scalability and cost-efficiency, and an overview of core AWS services like EC2, S3, and RDS. I learned about AWS’s global infrastructure, security tools like IAM and CloudTrail, and networking features such as VPC and Load Balancing. The course also covered storage options, database solutions, monitoring with CloudWatch, automation using CloudFormation, and cost management strategies. This foundational knowledge will prepare me to design and manage cloud solutions effectively.

Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training is one of the courses I took, and it was sponsored by LinkedIn Learning. Its purpose is to help people understand the Microsoft Project fundamentals. This training covered topics that anyone wanting to use Microsoft Project must know to use it effectively. This includes topics like setting up dependencies, managing resources, and using tools to track project progress. In this learning, I took on the role of a participant and learner, and I gained a much better understanding of the topics previously mentioned.

 

Learning Design Thinking: Lead Change in Your Organization is another course that I took, and it was also sponsored by LinkedIn Learning. Its purpose is to help people who want to make a change to use design thinking to drive change within their organizations. This training provides information on the core concepts of design thinking. This includes things like understanding user needs, prototyping, and testing solutions. In this learning, I took on the role of a learner who was looking to facilitate change.CertificateOfCompletion_Learning Design Thinking Lead Change in Your Organization CertificateOfCompletion_Learning Design Thinking Lead Change in Your Organization (1) CertificateOfCompletion_Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training CertificateOfCompletion_Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training (1)

In Fall 2024, I had the opportunity to partake in the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course that was offered in MIS 3406. As someone who was not too knowledgeable about AWS, this course helped me understand the basics of AWS and the services it offered. Throughout the duration of MIS 3406, I was able to refer to AWS Cloud Foundations for more in depth knowledge, especially on topics that I was unsure about. Ultimately, I found myself reviewing all of the modules as it was something that peaked my interest. I was able to learn about important topics within AWS, such as the Well-Architected Framework, DynamoDB, and more, all of which helped me prepare for MIS 3406. While I was learning about AWS and certain services in class, I was always able to turn to the Cloud Foundations course as study material to further deepen my understanding of how the services operated and how it impacted the user. The knowledge checks at the end of each module served as a quiz that tested my knowledge and understanding. I was able to use the knowledge checks as study tools as well as it pinpointed areas that needed improvement, which I was able to focus on when reviewing and studying for the course. Overall, it was a great way for beginners, like me, to understand the importance of AWS, the services that it provides, and how it can impact businesses that use AWS services.

In Fall 2024, I had the opportunity to participate in a class project for MIS 2402, in which I would create a website for an imaginary business. As someone who enjoys bullet journaling and incorporates it into my daily life, I decided to create a small stationery shop, called V’s Stationery Store, in which I had products such as stickers, washi tape, and pens available for purchase. Equipped with the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge I learned during my duration in MIS 2402, I was able to apply it towards creating my website and saw improvement in my understanding of the coding languages. I was able to learn more about how CSS impacted the style of my website, as well as how it works with HTML and JavaScript, especially when CSS was not as used in my course compared to HTML and JavaScript. As a result, I was able to broaden my knowledge on different coding languages while also having an enjoyable time as I created my website.

The goal of this project was to learn and practice designing an interactive webpage using HTML, CSS, and Javascript, from start to finish. It was also to learn about the research and design process, starting with an idea and going through the design steps to a finished product, in this case a website. The results, as reviewed by my professor, are satisfactory, and the finished site is available to review at the link above. I learned several things throughout this process; on a surface level, I achieved the learning goals set up at the beginning of the project, but on a deeper level, I learned several things very deeply through this project. I learned CSS almost entirely throughout this project, including the syntax, what each element does, how to implement it, etc. I also learned how HTML and Javascript interact, and I now have a much more intuitive understanding of how javascript functions can be called by and output to HTML elements through things such as click event handlers and such.
