QCatalyst Romania

Frontend Web Developer

A multinational company with a great culture and highly skilled professionals, 3Pillar Global taught me a lot of the skills I am now really proud of. The US client we were working for is in the education industry and we developed mainly Financial Education learning modules for average consumers. Since this client in present in thousand and schools and universities, we were required to meet the highest quality and accessibility level possible.

The framework used to build the frontend application was Backbone with Chaplin as an architecture model so we would respect MVV* design patterns and we used a lot a client's internal library to create and maintain uniform components across the app. We used GitHub for versioning control and CircleCI for CI/CD. We wrote (some) unittests using Jest and we tested cross-browser using BrowserStack. Long story short, it was a complex project with a lot of pieces to put together and we had our challenges when we had to double the team size to 10 devs.

UI Developer

Since the internship was amazing, when Yonder made me a job offer I couldn't refuse. I joined a team working for a US-based client in the education sector and over the following months we built 2 medium-size applications using AngularJS and Angular 2. For bug-tracking, issue reporting, sprint management, code-reviews and continuous integration we used Team Foundation Server on a server hosted in-house.

My responsibilities included: 
▪️ building responsive interfaces with Angular2 that consumed a REST API
▫️ implement, discuss and suggest design changes with the clients
▪️ doing the technical ramp-up and helping new junior colleagues with the onboarding process
▫️ refactor old functionality from Microsoft Silverlight to Angular-based webpages

Yonder

Junior Web Developer

At Digital Kids Cluj we are helping 8-12 years old children grasp the digital skills they need in order to keep up with the tools we have in the 21st century. We keep classes small, up to 12 students and there are multiple levels of age and difficulty - from introducing them to the computer and the Web to concepts of programming in Javascript and Python.

My main responsibilities are: 
▪️ delivering lessons in fun and interesting ways every week to the kids
▫️ building and maintaining the Scratch and Web development curricula with fun examples and games
▪️ assessing the knowledge of the kids on a regular basis and send clear personalized reports to the parents
▫️ helping other trainers with building and teaching lessons, evaluating new trainers 
▪️ delivering custom on-demand trainings and presentations for companies (employees' children)

Beside our regular classes each week we continuously grow and unfold projects and partnerships every year. We succeeded in having Google, Microsoft, Fundatia Progress, Orange and others as partners and with their help we reached and initiated over 7 000 kids from Romania in Computer Science.

Digital Kids Cluj

Trainer

Being an intern at Yonder was a really great way to start my career as a software engineer. The program was very well structured, the curriculum was comprehensive and the overall vibe of the interns' team was awesome. 
In the first half of the internship we learned basic concepts of the Web, Networking, Python, Flask framework, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, JQuery, Bootstrap and in the second half our team had to build a multiplayer web game using WebSockets. We used a simple MySQL database, we build the backend and the CRUD operations with Flask and on the frontend we didn't use any library - we built everything in-house, from buttons and forms styling to computing the projectile physics ourselves in vanilla JS. 

The  internship was a blast as we learned a lot, we met all the deadlines and the targets, we delivered a kick-ass multiplayer game and maybe the most important thing is that we remained friends to this day.
