I am a web developer looking for employment within a growing and innovative company. I am passionate about web development because of its complex and fluid nature; I have found that I am happiest when challenged with complex problems and the need to continually learn/improve on a daily basis. I also enjoy the act of creation and web development as a medium has numerous creative possibilities that are growing as the technology continues to evolve.
This full-time boot-camp taught me foundational skills needed for web-development. The program focused on a hands-on approach within a project-based learning environment, in which among other things, I was taught HTML to structure my applications, CSS for styling and JavaScript, both to interact with the DOM and build RESTful servers with Node.js.
My ongoing freelance project for this period is a marketplace application that I am building for a client, the purpose of which is facilitate finding and booking performances for musicians and venues. I have also built an ecommerce template application and I am currently building an application for families to organize and schedule their lives.
At Litt I was required to implent upgrades, new features and bugfixes to the existing codebase. I was also required to follow "git flow" principles to structure my workflow and to document changes when submitting a pull request. Working in this environment has made me comfortable interacting with unfamiliar codebases and collaborating with other developers.
