For this project in MIS 2402, I created a website for an imaginary business through visual studio code using html coding. I created a website called SustainaWheels, which is a business that has mobile refill trucks that bring zero waste essentials to your neighborhood. I created web pages for how it works, products, about, and estimate. I used text and visuals to inform potential customers. For the estimate web page, I created an interactive calculator for cost estimation. This project really taught me how to create a new website properly with the appropriate pages to start a business.

For MIS3535, I completed two LinkedIn Learning courses: Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training and Learning Design Thinking: Lead Change in Your Organization. These two courses were part of a professional development initiative to strengthen my project management and innovation skills. In the Microsoft Project training, I learned how to effectively plan, schedule, and manage projects using Microsoft Project, refining certain skills like setting baselines, assigning resources more efficiently, tracking progress more accurately, and being able to identify variances. In the Design Thinking course, I learned more strategies to foster my creativity, lead change, and implement user-centered solutions in an organization. Through these experiences, I enhanced both my technical proficiency with project management tools and my ability to drive innovation and positive change in teams and organizations.

CertificateOfCompletion_Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training

I recently completed the Amazon AWS Cloud foundations course which taught me numerous concepts that build upon my knowledge from my Cloud Architecture course. The goal of this course and certification was to lay out and understand the basics of Amazon AWS- and what it really does. I learned about the basics such as cloud computing, the scalability and functions of the cloud, core AWS services, and how billing works. The course genuinely taught me what the “cloud” is and is functions, as well as all the caveats that can make the AWS service more advantageous in a more practical sense for the workplace- for businesses. By taking all the knowledge checks and then cumulatively, the exam, I was able to learn more in-depth information about what we covered in class such as, Databases, Security, Storage, Computing, and well-designed framework. I was also able to learn more about topics not heavily covered in class such as Glacier and DBS as well. It was adventageous to be able to learn this important framework’s and uses of AWS, without having a deep technical background, and lay the beginning stepping stones leading up to the Cloud Practitioner Exam.

In my MIS 2402 Web Application course with Professor Miller, the students were prompted to do an optional project that required creating a prototype website for an imaginary business with one interactive calculator. This was a great opportunity to test my skills and apply the material learned in class for a realistic scenario. The results were great, and although I would have wished to have perfected it a bit more, it was still satisfactory. My experience with this project was surely not the easiest but a challenge is always welcomed. Thank you.

This project involved creating a professional, multi-page website for an original business concept, Mind & Muscle Gym, a fitness center that integrates physical training with mindfulness. The purpose was to apply web development concepts learned in class while gaining experience in planning, designing, and implementing a realistic business website. My site includes a homepage, service breakdown, contact form with input validation, and an interactive cost calculator, built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap. Through this experience, I strengthened my front-end development skills, improved my ability to create user-focused design, and learned how to manage the full process of delivering a working product. This project also helped me practice translating real-world business ideas into functional, presentable web solutions, an essential skill for professional roles in tech and business.

CertificateOfCompletion_Learning Design Thinking Lead Change in Your Organization 2016

This activity provided me further insight into the problem-solving approach known as design thinking and how it could be applied to any organization to enact change and propel success. The course defined design thinking as various avenues a team within an organization could take to better understand the needs of the user and developing solutions based on those needs. There are various ways to implement design thinking such as developing prototypes, coming up with quick iterations, and synthesizing key elements to highlight what is important. These approaches are best at solving nonlinear and complex problems.

One key point that was stressed within this series was making a space to create. Especially now a days when everything is more conveniently done online through zoom or teams, having a physical space to collaborate and share ideas is very important and is something I noticed that affected me personally. It seems a lot easier to share ideas and work with people in person rather through a screen.

Not only did this series cover what design thinking is but also how to form a proper team and what skills are valuable for a leader within this process to possess. Collaboration is key, especially incorporating different outlooks from as many people as possible and having a leader with a positive mindset to facilitate all this makes the process that much easier.

Maintaining a goal and actively aligning it with the desired outcome of the project is especially useful as well. As mentioned before, prototyping is a huge part of this goal and doing things such as journey mapping, synthesizing, and concepting are crucial to achieving this goal.

Overall, design thinking is a super effective way to approach problem solving, and teams that can effectively implement this way of thinking and especially successful. The design thinking mindset should also be considered a process, it is not something that will happen overnight but rather something that needs to be engrained within the culture. Getting to know the people who not only use your product but rather everyone that your product may affect is important, including team members. Lastly, asking questions and coming up with ideas that may be considered unorthodox are crucial to developing a great solution to your problem. Experimentation through prototyping and idea generation are key and would not be possible without an open environment and a solid workspace.

For this project, I designed and developed a multi-page website for a fictional business called WrestleZone Arcade, which combines a retro arcade experience with professional wrestling-themed events and memorabilia. The site includes an interactive party cost estimator built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap. The project emphasizes user-friendly design, responsiveness, and clear navigation across four pages: Home, About, Gallery, and Contact. Each page contains relevant business information such as services, fees, operating hours, contact details, and location. The calculator allows users to estimate event costs based on inputs like guest count, event duration, and optional add-ons. Throughout the development process, I focused on implementing clean, class-compliant code practices and effective error handling to ensure a functional and professional final product.

This website, FitFuel Tracker, is a multi-page fitness tool designed to help users estimate their daily maintenance calories and explore personalized training plans. I built it using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap.

Through the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course, I gained a comprehensive understanding of fundamental cloud computing concepts and the core services offered by AWS. I explored topics such as Amazon EC2, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and EBS, as well as cloud architecture principles, security best practices, and pricing models. The course also introduced me to the AWS Well-Architected Framework, emphasizing pillars like performance efficiency, cost optimization, and operational excellence.

Completing this course has helped me understand how to evaluate different AWS services based on specific business needs—such as workload patterns, cost-efficiency, availability, and scalability. I also became familiar with tools like AWS Trusted Advisor and CloudWatch, which are key for monitoring and compliance.

This knowledge is highly relevant to today’s industry, where cloud solutions are now central to IT operations and innovation. For me, it provides a strong foundation to build on as I pursue future opportunities in cloud computing, systems design, or IT management roles.

The AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course helped me to get a basic knowledge of fundamental AWS services and ideas including cloud economics, computation, storage, networking, and monitoring. Along with best practices surrounding scalability, availability, and security, the training addressed fundamental subjects such EC2, S3, IAM, billing, and cost management. Apart from the course of teaching, there were practical labs matching every subject so I could put what I acquired to use in an actual AWS environment. These labs let me learn virtual machine launching, load balancing, auto scaling group configuration, and cloud storage system management.This course gave me more confidence in utilizing AWS services and ready me for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner test.
