Hello!
I'm Kelvin.A fullstack software engineerfamily man & coding enthusiast
- AWS-Certified Developer
What am I doing today?
Today, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at MedPut overseeing the full deployment cycle of each sprint for our SaaS product, providing mentorship for software engineers that join our team, and contributing to the overall growth of the business.
While I completed the AWS Certified Developer Associate Exam back in March 2021, I am currently studying for the Machine Learning Specialty exam.
Along with studying for the ML exam, I work on improving my programming skills by reading books and solving problems on HackerRank and CodeChef. All when I am not spending it with my family and friends.
How I started programming
I started to learn web development at the time when social media was at its infancy and people were able to modify their profile by inserting chunks of CSS into a comment field while editing their profile. I remember being captivated by the complete design overhaul of someone's profile that I began to read the source code (ctrl - u). Shortly after, I was customizing my friend's profiles.
In 2015, after working in the healthcare industry for about 10 years (at the time), I made the decision to dedicate my hours after work to improve my web development skills.
My first big project was developing a store-front website in PHP with a fully custom content management system. I continued working with people who were starting up their businesses who sought out to build/establish their presence on the web through my Web Development start up.
I have designed and developed static websites, custom CMS's, e-commerce websites, utilized WordPress, and developed APIs using back end technologies like Ruby on Rails and PHP. I have also worked on interdisciplinary teams both in the healthcare and web development field.
