I currently have just a few months experience with programming, but have enjoyed every minute of it. Here is a fun game I created using Scratch and my current knowledge of programming. Scratch Game
Write a program that converts temperatures in celcius to fahrenheit
Ask user for fahrenheit temp
Celcius temp = (fahrenheit temp -32) * .5556
var fahrTemp = parseInt(document.getElementById('fTemp').value);
var celTemp = (fahrTemp - 32) * .5556;
document.getElementById("cTemp").innerHTML = "Celsius = " + celTemp;
Demonstration
Fahrenheit Temperature:
Calculate Total Meal Price with Fixed Tax and Tip
Problem Statement
Write a program that asks the user for a meal price and then calculates the total bill including fixed rates for tax and tip
Plans and pseudocode
Ask user for original price of meal
Solution
var mealPrice = parseInt(document.getElementById('mealPriceInput1').value);
var totalCost = mealPrice + (mealPrice * .06) + (mealPrice * .15);
document.getElementById("cost1").innerHTML = "Total Cost = " + totalCost;
Demonstration
Meal Price:
Calculate Total Meal Price with Variable Tax and Tip
Problem Statement
Write a program that asks the user for a meal price, tax rate, and tip percentage and then calculates the total bill.
Plans and pseudocode
Ask user for original meal price as well as their states tax rate and preferred tip percentage
Solution
var mealPrice = parseInt(document.getElementById('mealPriceInput2').value);
var taxRate = parseInt(document.getElementById('taxRateInput').value);
var tipRate = parseInt(document.getElementById('tipRateInput').value);
var totalCost = mealPrice + (mealPrice * (taxRate / 100.0)) + (mealPrice * (tipRate / 100.0));
document.getElementById("cost2").innerHTML = "Total Cost = " + totalCost;
Demonstration
Meal Price:
Tax Rate:

Education
I attended Amity Regional High School for all four years of my high school tenure. This school was awarded the blue ribbon for academic excellence for a public school in the state of Connecticut
For college I attended Florida Gulf Coast University. I was originally a Civil Engineering Major before switching to Computer Information Systems with a focus on computer programming.
About Me
I grew up and spent the first 18 years of my life in a small town called Orange, Connecticut. I spent a lot of my time working in the family business and getting better in school.
After High School my family moved to Sarasota as I moved to Fort Myers for school.
One of my favorite bands growing up was the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Usability/Accessibility
In order to make every user's experience on this website as easy as possible, I've included (and improved) alternate text for all pictures on the website. If a picture does not show on someone's computer, they will see the text describing the picture. I also implemented labels for the inputs on my website. This is for the user to see what any object including an input is meant for. All links on my website are simple, keep the same tab open, and are easy to see. This is so the user can easily use the links and can use the back button after clicking on a link. All text on the website contrasts well with the background and I made sure that all text in my website is readable.
