Currently my skills are in a strange place. I have been learning Web development on my own for about 2 years and I feel Like i have a grasp on the fundamentals of JS, CSS and Html. I have been pretty much building all my project using React and Gatsby so I am getting the hang of those technologies. However, I am not sure if it is impostor syndrome or true blind spots in my learning but I feel like I am missing something, some secret sauce that will make me more attractive to employers. For now I am still trying to master React and dipping my toes in Node.js and Typescript. I also learned a bit of OOP and Java/C# during a brief tangent where I thought that may help me land a job but I went back to the Front end world because I don't want to be jumping around.
I was doing freeCodeCamp for a while so I have those projects. But my strongest project I have done to date is a Gatsby ecommerce site I did for a family member but in the end did not need it anymore. I think it is pretty neat because it populates the pages dynamically from the Shopify storefront using GraphQl and dynamically creates the content and updates products upon being added. Other than that I am constantly changing my portfolio to make it just a little more purple every iteration.
Oh I wish I knew this! But if i would have to guess it would be in design. I feel that most front end jobs require some sort of design skills and I am not good at that. I want to get good but I'm not there yet. Another thing would be in backend. I still don't understand how to build backend projects or what exactly that would entail. Front end is easy because it is so visual but backend is so abstract.
Currently I am pretty much applying to any job with Junior on it. But mostly Front-End developer, React Developer, or Web Developer. Eventually I would like to be a full stack developer.
