Topics

Angular and Typescript

Paired with .Net backend Restful API microservices, I have worked with multiple web frontend apps driven by Angular and Typescript hosted in Azure containers, orchestrated by Rancher.

In my role with a payment processor, I started with a medium-level experience with JavaScript and was able to quickly learn Angular and TypeScript on the job while successfully completing many projects with multiple web apps used by their customers. I continued to grow my knowledge by taking Udemy training courses on weekends.

I look forward to bringing my knowledge and experience to future roles at other organizations and also completing a demo project for my portfolio.
