Looking back at my GitHub commits, 2019 to Present

Take a trip down memory lane with my presentation, revisiting my GitHub commits from 2019 to now. It’s been four years of constant learning, building, and improving. This presentation is a showcase of my journey as a developer, highlighting the progress I’ve made with each commit.

Inspired by Jefferson Lam, this presentation is more than just a summary of my work. It’s a reflection of the challenges I’ve faced, the solutions I’ve found, and the knowledge I’ve gained along the way.

Every line of code tells a story, and this presentation is my entry.

1. Git Checkout ~HEAD @ALPO Revisiting my GitHub commits, 2019 to Present
2. Learnings Pet/Personal Projects Freelance Work Open-source contributions What am I going to tell you? From (student) developer experience, learnings, reflections, projects, etc..
3. Build it 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Beginning 1st Freelance Project Trying something new... Fulltime - TS IPS More nth freelance work GDSC Talk COVID19 Tracker App Tinder/Google/Firebase Cloned Net flix App Internship 1 (CRA Report) nth Hackathons Revisit Back in time

6. Not much progress??
7. Imposter syndrome
9. What do I want to achieve in 2020 ~ career preparations? I will continue honing my development skills. My plan is to master a new language, learn a new tech stack and understand its nuances. I will try to work on small real world projects that will give me hands-on experience and help me understand the practical application of my learnings. Improve coding skills, open-source community engagement in preparation for my career. What do I want to achieve in 2020 ~ career preparations? I will continue honing my development skills.

15. First open-source contribution
16. Valueable lessons SKILL Improvement You will learn from others code ACCEPTING IGNORANCE It's okay to not learn everything at once as long as you persevere TAKING RISKS and INITIATIVE If there's something we want to try, just give it a go and see what happens. Reflections Consistency > Speed: It’s better to code a little each day than to cram.
17. The Goal: 2021 365 Days of code Marathon of Pet Projects

34. PRESENT THE TRANSITION Transitioning from Mobile platforms to Cloud Native/Enterprise stack, even my GitHub heh?
35. Started using GitLab & SubVersion Meaning, I got less time for personal stuffs Less time for personal stuffs
36. Mobile? Backend & Cloud Roads untraveled, what do I mean?
37. Mobile Development Cloud + Backend Development But I become death What I really wanted
38. I’m getting paid by writing shell reports, unix scripts heh?
39. More scripts...
41. And configs...
42. Author to various class files heh? most of the time I just fix node issues, blind commit then let the QA do their thing... QA:
43. I also build and ship containers
44. It turns out, I’m good at it... I even revamped IPS (Screening Service) Kafka topology architecture; organized microservice containers for Kubernetes cluster in the cloud
