This was kinda cheating, because I know the owner, but I got to develop the software to manage a university’s students, teachers, semester plans, grades, payments, university event calendar.

It was wild, specially because it was the first time I did web development. After two years I lead a team of 5 to do this.

Everything that came after that was boring πŸ˜‚

The first job after that was make responsive views for a chat application.

Sounds fun, especially considering how awful the online apps were when I was in school. What language, etc. did you use?

I used Ruby on Rails. Became a huge fan of it 🀩
