Long time no blog


February 10, 2018


   Its been a decent amount of time since my last blog. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been very dedicated and thriving to improve my craft day by day and so far the hard work has paid off. Starting off Lambda School, I barely knew a thing about Data Structures, algorithms and CS in general. The amount of reading and time I have put in to understanding the content and also putting it into practice during practice of interviews, has gotten me to a very far point as of now. Its amazing of how much I can accomplish just by putting in months of work.

  To recap of what is going on in Lambda School, I will be graduating in about 1 more week!. The time has come for me to end the program, but the journey is not finished yet. With some much that I've learned, the journey of becoming a better programmer can always take a long time, even years!. The most important that I've learned about this field is that the tech industry grows exponentially as time passes through, so with that being said, the journey of learning to code is actually a never ending journey, so it can be hard to tell who is good and who is best. I have been finishing up my capstone, but one of the more interesting stories just happened to me as I was developing this project with my team. One of our members left a little early to begin his journey as a software developer, which left me in charge of the project to make executive decisions as to what is best suited for our project and small remaining time.

  Overall this has given me a good experience of what it is like to take lead role of a project. I've been really dedicated towards the front end and had some roles towards the backend as well. Right now I am planning to deploy our project but as of right now we are having some issues to deploy our project. This has been a good experience indeed for myself and for the team, just to get our feet wet of what its like developing a major project and also the struggles of it as well. I will continue on the basis of blogging and my new journey towards the Software Developer role. See you soon!

Inspirations and passion for what I love: Vidcon 2018 post thoughts

June 23rd, 2018     I know I haven't been posting a lot on my personal life and what's going, but I will now start to make a comeback on what I have started. A lot has been going on since I last posted 2 months ago. It shocks me on how much can change in just a matter of a month!, but so much has been going on in my life both personal and also Software development.    There were a couple of things happening so far personal wise such meeting the girl who is making an impact on my life, discussing the future with my parents and also mental health concerns going on in my quarter life crises. All of these things are pushing me to become the person who I am destined to be and what is to come for in the future. For now as long as I am holding on, and having faith with the people who care for me and are around me, I think I'll be ok.   My career options and also future is the reason why my fellow lambdas read this. I have been focusing a lot on my software develop...

Inspirations and learning so much more

Hello,    Coming back from another class session and this time around. I am actually done with the first month of lambda school. The experience so far has been quite of a rocky start, but as time progressed, we are all now starting to get comfortable with each other (hopefully). By now we have just started our course towards the more advanced topics like react js and redux, along with data fetching protocols. We are almost done with our http/ajax sprint which consists of making a friendslist application that incorporates a middleWare type extension to handle data fetching protocols. We are learning so much on fullstack development and this is basically what I wanted in the first place.    Javascript has also being a part of my strong points this time around since I'm working on it everyday from this point. Pretty much my knowledge and growth for computer science is expanding and as of now. The best analogy that we have been taught was that your source of knowledge fo...

Oct 9th, 2017    With so much that is going on, I notice a lot of things since the start of the program. My skills as a programmer are improving everyday, and its remarkable how much I have improved within just 3 months. The best part is, we're not even finished yet. By the time I write this post we would've reached the react native course which is close to being done with the full-stack javascript section of the school, afterwards we have our introduction to C/C++ programming which is majority of the time employers want. Reasons as to why they would want this so much is because of the fact that you have a good/basic understanding of what goes on under the hood.   So theres a couple of things that I noticed right when I first started the program, first thing was my ability now to tackle coding challenge problems, at the start being able to start a coding challenge problem was difficult for me, but after repetitive reps and constant thinking; my skills for solving these...
