I often go by S0UPernova, but my name is Michael, and I am a self taught web developer
I am fairly comfortable with the following languages.
As well as the following frameworks / libraries
This project I was paid to add some functionality, and fix bugs, and make the codebase more scalable
In a coding group I attend one of the members made an offhand comment along the lines of "what if the rows could move" I liked the idea, so I made it.
This one presented a few interesting challenges, for instance figuring out if someone won, because a lookup table couldn't cut it, so I wrote an algorithm to find the longest line for each player based on the tiles and their offsets, and check if it met or exceeded the number to win.

I know, I know what a surprize yet another todo app, but I did enjoy making this one. The backend api was made with Ruby on Rails, and is hosted on an AWS EC2 instance, and the front end is on AWS amplify.
I realize that it is not the best looking, but I am not the best designer, and tend to do better with direction and at least a good idea of what it should look like

I have been learning web development for a few years now, though I have not had a job in the industry yet, I have done a little freelance.
A while back I started to attend a meetup on discord where I could work with some other people on projects, usually little thing to explore a technology, and since there is often a fair amount of beginners I would often help teach the newer people in the group, which has helped me have a pretty good understanding of things at a lower level, because to teach something you must understand it quite well.
I have been working retail for over 7 years now, and during that time I have been management closing the store and previously ran the largest department in the store.
I am not currently not working the management shifts due to availability concerns which should not be an issue with remote work, which is a factor in seeking a career change moreover I quite enjoy the work.
