INVENTORY APPLICATION

VERSION 1

During my first profession as a food service manager, without any formal knowledge of code, I taught myself enough Java to easily output a prep list depending on values that I entered. It was admittedly rudimentary and rife with logical errors.

Despite this, I believe looking back to be an invaluable tool to prove my ability to learn and persevere. Featured here is a snippet of what my code looked like and how I used it to increase my productivity.

VERSION 2

Years later, as a Computer Science major at Bristol Community College, I began to learn more about programming and the traditional methods to build a working prototype. During my first year of the major, one of my courses allowed me to choose what kind of project I wanted to complete. I chose to revamp the inventory application, with the intent to show what was possible now that I had the basic principles under my belt.

The new inventory application was equipped with a full Graphical User Interface as well as connections to a mySQL Database. It had the capability to write daily inventory to the database as well as pull data for management to make informed decisions in their truck orders.

The Final version — Coming soon

After graduation, I completed the inventory application with the full knowledge of a programmer ready to join the workforce. I named the app Prepper.

With increased skill and perseverance, I hope to someday have it on the Android and Apple App Stores.
