Helped support an online advertising company based in North America. In
addition to maintaining the company's technology stack, he worked with Rails and SQL on PubSquared, a platform that enables publishers to sell their digital inventory to advertisers, to fully automate user account creation
Used JavaScript and the MEAN stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and
NodeJS) to develop an e­commerce platform that allows local merchants to
showcase their products and buyers to compare products.
Worked to develop a Rails API with an online educational company to build a freelance application for getting jobs for graduates of their various programs.

I started out Programming in javascript, learning the basic concepts of Object Oriented Programming, OOP as it is called. Then I moved to learn how to build a full stack application with the MEAN stack(MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node). I perfected skills in this area as I moved on to build an ecommerce platform. Moving on I have built a simple music application fully harnessing the power of node.js on the backend.

I learnt a lot about building sql queries both manually and dynamically on a project I worked on for about a year. My work was to extract data from a cloud postgres data storage. I did this dynamically by taking in requests made by user and constructing a proper sql query to select proper data from the database.

I started using git when I first got my software engineering training. I learnt various git workflows including the git rebase. I have ever since mastered how to maintain a project with source control as it is a requirement for any project I want to take on.

I built my first Angular project when I tried to recreate a project I previously did with JQuery in Angular. I consumed an API and rendered the data on the DOM with Angular. I found Angular more interesting and easier to work with than JQuery because it affords a lot of customizations and the 2-way data binding was spectacular. I have moved on to integrating Angular with Node and Express.Js. Also I have moved on to making Angular work with a Rails API. Interesting!

I host all of my applications on amazon cloud servers. This has afford me the experience of not only getting to the services but integrating the services on AWS with tools like Circle CI and Docker.
