Alberto Roldan
@albertoroldanq
I am a passionate developer with experience in building software with Laravel/PHP, MySql, Redis.
What I'm looking for
I am interested in learning new programming
languages and growing my understanding of software and code architecture. I also like staying updated with trends and
best practices and contributing to specific discussion work groups. I spend my free time exploring new places, training my
dog, attending tech-related meet-ups, playing padel, and occasionally riding my longboard.
I moved to the UK in 2019, volunteered at two community centres while planning to join an in-person boot-camp. When
the pandemic disrupted my plans, I undertook online web development courses until I joined iO Academy in 2021.
Since 2021, I’ve worked with PHP, Laravel, Vue (with TypeScript), and MySQL, and recently trained in Python, Docker,
Kubernetes, AWS, and Bash, which I also use at work. I’ve been a Software Engineer at Tillo since 2022, gaining
experience with TDD and DDD, leading projects, building PHP packages, mentoring juniors, and refining tickets. During my
full-stack training, I learnt fundamental coding skills and collaborated on projects using PHP, JavaScript, Git, Node, React,
and MongoDB among others. Check out my favourites in the projects section or visit my portfolio: albertoroldanq.com
