Motivation
Foundational programming projects are part of a credible portfolio when they are framed honestly and placed in the right context.
C++ Project
Simple Calculator using Switch Statement
A small C++ calculator project that represents early programming practice and logical problem-solving.
Undergraduate
Project overview
This project is intentionally simple, but it helps preserve the start of the engineering learning path rather than presenting only polished later work.
Method and architecture
- Console-based user input handling
- Switch-based conditional logic
- Basic arithmetic workflow implementation
My contribution
- Built the project in C++ as part of early programming practice
- Used it to strengthen command-line logic and control-flow understanding
- Kept it in the portfolio as an educational milestone
Impact
- Documents the progression from beginner programming to applied software work
- Adds honesty and continuity to the overall portfolio story
