Hello, my name is Mike Gonzalez. I completed my education for Full Stack Web Development at UCF. After exposure to many different web development technologies, I have found my new passion in life. There is nothing better than being faced with a challenge and having the skill set and creativity to solve it. I was formally taught the MERN stack along with other popular technologies and libraries, but I continue to grow my toolbox with Udemy and Pluralsight classes.
Before deciding to become a developer, I was a Chef which led me into Food Sales. These jobs were great and taught me a lot about teamwork, time management, and goal setting. But at the end of the day these jobs lacked the challenge that coding brings. With the skills I’ve gained, my strong work ethic, and desire to never stop learning, it’s time for my new conquest.
This was a collaborative group project for the UCF Coding Bootcamp. Requirements of the assignment were to utilize 2 or more API's, Use a technology that is new to us, and use a database to store persistent data. Our group decided to make a job finder application that utilizes the Google Maps API, Google Places API, and Career One Stop Api. It also uses complete user authentication and a Google Firebase Database.
