July 2023 - February 2024
♔ Embarking on the Full Stack Engineer Path was like strapping on a coding rocket – HTML and CSS were my launchpad, and soon I was crafting websites that danced to my code. Local, remote, you name it – websites were my playground. CSS styling went from nursery to Vogue cover shoot, and responsive design became my superhero cape. ♔ Interactive websites? Oh, I tangoed with JavaScript syntax like a code poet. GitHub was my canvas; my projects, the art. Testing? Async JavaScript? HTTP requests? Bring it on! And yes, a personal portfolio website was not just a project; it was my digital soul, wrapped in accessibility. ♔ Front-End development was like wielding the Excalibur of JavaScript. I ventured into the React.js kingdom, where Redux was the royal adviser. GitHub was my trusty steed for collaborative quests, and a Reddit Client was my epic tale, etched in code. ♔ Back-End development was when I donned the cloak of RESTful API creation. User authentication and databases were my secret weapons. PostgreSQL was my sorcery book, and an E-Commerce App (REST API) was my magic show. ♔ Full-Stack development? It was the symphony of connecting front-end to back-end. Deploying web apps securely was my ninja move. Web security? Oh, I locked down the castle. DevOps? I moonwalked with operating systems. ♔ Interview Prep was the grand entrance to the tech colosseum. Linear data structures? Complex data structures? Algorithms? I battled them all. My PERN App was my gladiator, standing tall in the coding arena.
