Bio

The tech field demands a unique combination of creativity, technical knowledge, problem solving, tenacity, and great communication skills. That’s me. I thrive when synthesizing disparate knowledge to solve technical problems.

My career in video production offered much of this challenge but after about 15 years, I'd hit a wall. When I started researching options for the next chapter in my life, I came across software development and was inspired by the opportunities to do something that could have real and lasting positive impact.

Capstone Concept - Elle

Problem Statement #1 - Play That Note

When learning to sing or play an instrument, the student must learn how to produce each note and connect that note with its visual representation on a music staff. This is a simpler task with instruments that have many physical keys, such as flute, clarinet, and other woodwinds, but becomes increasingly difficult in brass instruments, fretless string instruments, and voice. I plan to produce a piece of software that will display a image of a music note on a staff to the user and ask the user to play that note. The software will analyze the input and give feedback regarding whether the note they played matches what was displayed.

MVP Feature Set

The minimum viable product will consist of the following features.

Match the note displayed

Capstone Product Plan

Personal Learning Goals

Working with input from a microphone
Working with captured sound in software
Experience taking a project all the way from concept to completion; connecting all of the pieces
Continuing to learn how to learn new technology and implement it quickly

	# ITERATING THROUGH ARRAYS
	# For each of the following problems, write the code to solve the problem. Each solution should be structured as a method that takes an array as a parameter and returns the result. You should use the Array#each method to solve each problem.

	# 1. You are given an array of String objects, stored in a variable called my_strings. You want to use this array to create a new array of Integer objects, which represents the length of each string. We want to store the resulting array in a variable called string_lengths.

	my_strings = ["hey there", "this is the second string", "tacos", "good music", "study-group-pairs"]

	# your_strings = ["Shamira", "Elle", "Grace"]

	# input: string_array <- array of strings
