Welcome to Code_+ Farinha!
I have over 15 years of experience working in Education and Technology sector. As Pedagogical Coordinator, I was responsible to develop Educational and Technological projects as for example , projects using Scratch and Blogs. As a result, during theses years, the School where I used to work had educational benefits. Simultaneously, I published scientific articles and chapter books to discuss the importance of Technology as resource to improve teaching.
Although successful in my Educational career, I have realized the aspects of my work that I needed to acquire more knowledge. I am enthusiastic for knowledge! For this reason, I decided to move out to Canada to improve my English Skill and starting Software Engineer Course. During this course, I have be learned about JavaScript, React, Java, C#, ASP.NET , .NET frameworks, .NET core , MVC, Node.js, Azure, Jira, Mongo DB, Git, GitHub A and HTML5 / CSS3, Git and GitHub.
Currently, I am team member of Brridge Group, working in real projects to build full stack applications with React, Node.js, Express.JS & MongoDB. Our current Project is Trrader Website that is a project created to trade crypto currency. This is a MERN application with frontend interface using React. Trrader is integrated with MongoDB database to store and sending alerts by email. All the tasks are managed by Jira. Also, the group is working best practices using GitHub.
I would like to introduce myself and explain the reason for choosing the name of the blog. I am Alessandra Campos, I am Brazilian from the State of Amazonas, in the city of Manaus.
Amazonas is known worldwide for its natural beauty, legends, and rich culture. But another richness is so our cuisine, our delicious fish, and fruits (Omg! How I miss it). Farinha is one of most common foods in the Amazonian`s cuisine. I believe that the better translation that I found in English was cassava flour. In our food, cassava flour is present in almost all meals. I think we eat almost everything adding farinha flour, even when the combination doesn't look very good. So, let's start to "eat code with farinha"!
I started writing this Blog encouraged by my professor Aderson from Brriddge Group. My goal is to show my progress, learning, challenges in this new area. However, I cannot do this by nullifying my subjectivity, my culture and all the elements that constitute me. In summary, my intention is humanize the software developer position and showing the person behind the machine.
I would like to thank you for any comments and help that may contribute to this regard.
See you,
Alessandra
