Hi there! I'm Elaina and I'm an Instructional Designer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science. I also hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the same institution.
I'm happy to chat about available roles in the Data Sciences or to any prospective/current iCAN students. The easiest way to contact me is through LinkedIn.
I’ve been focusing heavily on advancing my Web Development skills this past month. I’ve completed two capstone projects; the first is a Todo List which uses Express.js to serve a simple landing page for a todo list application and node.js in the backend, the second is a simple currency conversion app which utilizes ExchangeRate-API to convert a base currency to any target currency.
I’ve finished my second web development capstone, which is a resume/personal website created entirely with HTML & Bootstrap. I had some prior knowledge of HTML, but this section of the course taught me more about making web pages responsive to changes in screen size through media queries. I also learned how to make more modern-looking pages through Bootstrap instead of relying on pure CSS.
This summer, in between job applications, I’ve been taking two certificate courses from Udemy: The Complete 2023 Web Development Bootcamp, offered by Angela Yu and The App Brewery, and The Data Science Course: Complete Data Science Bootcamp, offered by 365 careers.
