Web Developer

Manchester, UK/Remote

At this point, I already have over 2 years professional experience from my previous and current role. I was excited by the prospect of transitioning into a fullstack developer and I have been able to do just that, building and learning cool stuffs in my current role as a web developer at Fezzant Ltd.

Frontend Developer

Abuja, Nigeria/Remote

After taking the time to put together some projects for my portfolio, I set out to working on the portfolio website itself. With the portfolio now ready, I proceeded to sending out applications. I had a couple of interviews and landed some offers including the one I took for my current role as a Frontend developer at Hayok Medicare Limited.

Silverscreen

I had decided to build at least four portfolio projects before working on the portfolio site itself. I then set out to build my next portfolio project which is a cinema app that exemplifies the SPA power of React using dynamic nested routes.

Bankist

Immediately after completing my first portfolio project, I started on the next one. It is a marketing website for a ficticious banking business which was built using HTML, CSS(SASS), and finished with some nice functionalities using vanilla JavaScript.

SkyEye

At this point, I was advised to put together a portfolio and so I started working on my first portfolio project. It is a ReactJs app built using the open weather map api. The app allows querying of weather information about any city in the world. Original design for the app was done in Figma.

Tutorial Hell

At this point I had signed up for up to 4 different long hours Udemy courses to learn frontend development, yet I never was able to step into the independent process of building personal projects from scratch. I found some really helpful YouTube channels and they helped me take the first steps towards getting out of tutorial purgatory.

Reacting to React

Immediately after building my first static HTML and CSS project, I realized I needed to upskill and so I signed up for Andrei Naegoie's Complete Web Developer - Zero to Mastery Udemy course. This was my first encounter with React Js. A month into following the course, I built my first React app.

Reset Button

Everything I had learnt until this point felt not solid enough and so I decided to restart my frontend developer journey the proper way. I picked up on HTML and CSS from the very basics. A month into learning, I built my first HTML and CSS(SASS) project.

First Project

After following a Python Django tutorial by Mosh Amedani for a while, I built my first project. It was a very basic ecommerce website for online grocery shopping. For me, this was a first taste of blood.

How it all started...

It is 2019, I was working as a teacher. A friend who is a developer had just higntened my interest in learning how to code and so I started my coding journey learning Python's Django framework.
