What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in software development.

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
