First of all, your writing is fine--don't sweat it! I think it's really common for people to suffer from what is known as Imposter Syndrome, especially in technical fields where the learning curve is steep and constant. I was really impressed with what you've done in only a year and a half! So please don't be too hard on yourself; it's said that we can be our own worst enemies when it comes to being critical of our work.

If you are nervous about the interview process, find a friend and do a practice one. You can find typical interview questions all over online, so you could do a run-through and get used to it. Also, sites like muse.com are great for building confidence at work.

I think your past work will speak for itself when it comes to future jobs. Just make sure you are happy with the code you are putting out, and please, document it carefully so that developers who may encounter your code later don't have to struggle to understand what you were thinking about when you wrote it.

Best of luck to you!
