πŸ’» Projects

  • KayKew: A comprehensive note-taking and task management app that helps users stay organized. Built with Express, React, Redux, and PostgreSQL.
  • Artisan Alley: An Etsy-inspired e-commerce platform developed collaboratively. Full-stack development with Flask and React.

🌱 Currently Learning

Enhancing my full-stack development skills:

  • Advanced React and Redux: Diving deeper into state management, hooks, and optimizing performance in large applications.
  • Testing Frameworks: Exploring testing tools like Jest and React Testing Library to write better unit and integration tests for my applications.
  • TypeScript: Learning how to add static types to my JavaScript code for better code quality and debugging.
  • Version Control Best Practices: Enhancing my understanding of Git workflows, branching strategies, and contributing to open-source projects.
  • Agile Methodologies: Gaining hands-on experience with Scrum and Kanban to improve teamwork and project delivery.
  • Algorithms and Data Structures: Practicing coding challenges to strengthen problem-solving skills and prepare for technical interviews.
  • DevOps Fundamentals: Experimenting with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to streamline application development and deployment processes.

🎯 Goals

  • Contribute to Open-Source Projects: Actively contribute to open-source communities to collaborate with developers globally and improve my coding skills.
  • Build a Portfolio of Full-Stack Projects: Complete and showcase a portfolio of full-stack applications using different tech stacks like MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) and Flask.
  • Achieve Proficiency in TypeScript: Develop a strong understanding of TypeScript and integrate it into my JavaScript projects to improve code quality and maintainability.
