1 year ago I was working at convo where i worked for around 2 years. Convo is an enterprise communication and collaboration tool and when i joined it was a huge legacy app built in Angularjs with chrome extension and even a desktop app having years of work. We launched a customised solution for H&M and i was the first hire for web in their newly built team.

Being a junior dev at that time i learnt so much and faced lots of challenges. We had to work sometimes more than 12+ hours consecutively for many days but it was one of the best experiences of my live. Being around senior developers with more than 10 years of experience and learning from them and seeing how they work.

That system being a legacy app and having such a large architecture had so many constraints, we we're allowed to import many packages and had to develop our own widgets and do things on our own in vanilla javascript to optimize for performance and work in very tight schedules, it taught me a lot about development, how to work in a team and take up ownership of my work.

I then moved to work at trainaway (fitness for travellers app built in mithril.js and node at the backend) where i worked for close to a year and now i'm working on an ecommerce platform built in React and node.

The challenges and obstacle you face will help you grow. Best of luck with your project. 👍🚀
