I’m Ed, a junior developer at an outsourcing tech company from the Philippines.We’re using Django 2.2, Angular JS 1.7 and looking forward to migrating to React.
Although I’m basically a junior to all these technologies, thankfully after a couple months of training, hard work and study, I was able to do full stack. Though I feel like I’m not well rounded to the core fundamentals of these technologies.I just learned python last Feb, I studied C back in college that’s why I love learning it.
I’m still learning django. My knowledge on HTML and CSS are only the basics.
We’re using Inspinia for theming, we don’t do much custom css.
I’m new to javascript as well. Someday I want to be a Senior Django developer at a large company in the US working remotely. I’m aiming for a rewarding and high earning job so I can provide the best financial support and provision for my family.
I find learning back-end very interesting that’s why I’m just focusing on studying python currently. But I really want to be well rounded also in the front-end so I can build very useful and beautiful apps which I can help people on and I can earn a living from.
It’s kinda confusing because both sides are great, but I’m taking one step at a time.
Your site looks great! Looking forward to hearing more of your story. Hoping we can start our mentoring session soon.
Notes
Suggested that he try freelancing instead of trying to join a startup. He’s not ready to pass an algorithms and data structures interview and isn’t interested in ramping up right now. Let him in on the forhire subreddit and gave some tips on how to better compete for jobs. He also asked how to gain confidence in technologies that are new to you. I told him to build projects and build small proofs of concept for upcoming paid work.
