My Journey as a Software Developer

As part of an agile team, I focus on the back-end but also contribute to the front-end to improve Laravel and Vue legacy code projects, Tillo’s platforms, and build new projects around new finance requirements to support the company's global expansion. This includes attending meetings with stakeholders to gather requirements and provide technical assistance, integrating third-party services, adding new features, fixing bugs, scoping out and refining tickets for sign-off, documenting processes, mentoring junior developers and helping onboard new team members. I strive to implement best practices including Test Driven Development.

Built REST API projects in PHP with Laravel, fixed bugs and added new features to WordPress projects.

Fixed bugs, improved existing features and built new functionalities to CrankCRM, an online platform and its RESTful API using Laravel and Vue along with other technologies such as, MySQL, Bootstrap and Tailwind.

In this course I learnt the fundamentals to deploy Docker applications in AWS - manually, with managed services or with Kubernetes. Which involved creating and using images and containers with Docker, managing and persisting data with volumes, and container networking with Docker networks and DNS service discovery.

In this full-time project-based coding Bootcamp, I learnt the most common front and back-end languages and frameworks, with daily practical exercises, working on projects in a small team, and being involved in real production projects. I also became Scrum Master Certified and attended multiple tech lectures.

Through practical exercises, I learnt from the basics to Bootstrap, different JavaScript libraries, and finally completing a Node.js and Express.js project.

In this 300-hour course, I improved my HTML & CSS skills and worked in small responsive-oriented projects.

This was my first approach to web development, where I learnt HTML and CSS through video lessons and tests.
