My wins of February are...
Taking the initiative of turning web development as a hobby to web development as a career.
Taught myself Docker so I could transition deploying my apps from Heroku to DigitalOcean (Saving a bunch of money each month)
Attended a coding meetup where I actually engage with other members
Created my portfolio design from scratch and deployed a pixel-perfect copy that was mobile responsive.
Sent out my first resume
Web development has been a hobby of mine for the past 4 years. I have some "client" work in the past, but most of my projects on Github are really just crazy experiments from the result of exploring and learning web development. Because I am self-taught, imposter syndrome really affected me. It wasn't until I attended a coding meetup that I got cured. I got to talk to so many amazing developers while feeling confident in my web dev knowledge, as well as feeling like this is an environment I belong in.
I am currently trying to improve my resume and portfolio in hopes of getting at least one interview. I can code, solve algorithms all day, but I now want the experience to confidently present myself as a great candidate for a web development position under pressure.
