Hi, my name is Alberto Roldan I'm a Software Developer
I enjoy developing each project with the most suitable tools to achieve the best results. And value best practices and clean code.
Check out my work01.About me
Hi, I'm Alberto, an enthusiastic Software Developer but also, an animal lover, curious explorer and occasional longboard rider.
background
I first met the magic world of coding during my training in electronics and automation. Back then, I was fascinated by the idea of implementing a series of logic blocks to automate an industrial machine, which made me realise how much I enjoyed solving problems by applying logical thinking and creativity. I have always been curious about technology and especially everything that can be done digitally. I took numerous online courses about HTML, CSS and JavaScript, until I finally joined iO Academy in Bath, to make my passion a profession and become a Full-Stack Software Developer.
During this intensive 16-week Full-Stack course I learnt the fundamentals of coding, became a Certified Scrum Master, and worked with a team to produce projects by using a range of technologies such as PHP, JavaScript, Node.js and React among others.
motivation
I am passionate about working on meaningful projects which I can be proud to be a part of, and enjoy being part of a collaborative team with nice people; who have a common goal and enjoy each other's company. I would like to develop my current skills and have the chance to learn an array of languages and frameworks. I care about implementing best practices, including Test Driven Development, and I would like to learn more about DevOps, code architecture and infrastructure.
02.Work
Since November 2021, I've been working with Laravel, Vue and MySQL. In March 2022, I joined Tillo to focus on the back-end but also contribute to the front-end to improve our core legacy code, Tillo’s API platforms, and build new projects to support the company's global expansion.
Previously, in October 2021, I graduated from iO Academy, a 16-week Full-Stack course where I learnt fundamental coding skills, and participated in several projects using various technologies such as PHP, JavaScript, Node, React and MongoDB, among others.
I strive to implement best practices and like to take a Test Driven Development approach whenever possible.
