I attended Launch Academy, a full-time+ immersive web development bootcamp where I learned in-depth principles of Object Oriented Programming and Test-Driven Development. The primary languages of the course were Javascript, HTML, and CSS, which I used to build web apps in a Node/Express/PostgreSQL/React Monolith, with Knex SQL query builder and Objection ORM for database interactions, as well as third-party API integration. I developed projects as part of a group and individually in an Agile development environment using Pair Programming and GitHub version control.
