Completed over 700+ hours of professional full-stack engineering training with one on one mentorship while completing four in-depth, guided projects along with two fully independent web applications.- Independently developed the full stack for a social media site for orienteering in Python/Javascript/HTML/CSS using Flask/PostgreSQL/Axios/Flask-wtf/Flask-sqlAlchemy and Amazon S3. This application called OpenWeatherMap and Mapbox APIs to display weather forecasts and user uploaded .GPX files to display gps tracks on Mapbox maps. User uploaded images were compressed using server side compression and uploaded to Amazon S3 using presigned urls.
