As a professional, I have spent a few years working primarily at two different companies before my transition to tech performing structural inspections, utility design, and assisting project management. I then moved to a full-time project management role with Activaire. Where I was introduced to the outer rim of tech. They specialized in providing custom music on their proprietary software platform and installing Audiovisual hardware. My role was to oversee this process, from scope development and curation of music to the installation of hardware and deployment of the software to host the media. This started my interest in tech. I had ideas surrounding tech, and decided to seek out a boot camp where I found FullStack Academy and dove headfirst into all the various technologies workshops and projects. After finishing I was blessed to find my current opportunity where I am planning to play a pivotal role in designing the future of the global decentralized financial system 😊👍🏾. I am proficient in NodeJS, JavaScript, React-Redux, Express, Sequelize, Postgresql, HTML, and CSS. Knowledgeable in testing libraries: Mocha, Chai, and Jasmine, and familiar with software architecture for SPA, REST, and CRUD applications. I am Comfortable working with Git, Github, Heroku, VSCode, Postman, Postico, Slack, Asana, and Jira. Check out my GitHub github.com/Jmcgill007 (GitHub)
