Spoke on Scrimba's Twitter Spaces on, "How to Build a Winning Developer Portfolio."

Shared about what kind of projects make a good developer portfolio (hint: personalise them to show who you are!) and advocated to spend a bit of time writing your "About" bio. Most companies are interested in hiring people, not robots who can code.

Reviewed 16 developer portfolios as part of #PortfolioReviewFriday.

Provided precise, actionable feedback for UI/UX improvements to help folks in their job hunt. This took about 8 hours to do it felt awesome to be able to make a difference in this way!

Spoke about CSS on Microsoft Refactor's Web Wednesday. This was a live stream event where I shared tips and tricks on how I create my One Div art!

Shared my CSS horror story about a project I'd inherited in my first job.

It was so bad my manager at the time had a dream about me storming off the job and going to the cinema because of it 😂

A few months ago, I found myself at career crossroads.

I had gone through six rounds of interviews plus a take-home project to secure an incredible offer from a Big Tech company.

However, I was really happy with my current role, where I had a ton of autonomy, growth and interesting challenges. I agonised over the decision.

LEAVE?
Secure a 6-figure salary at one of the tech's favourite & well-known companies. Career prestige, financial stability, outstanding bonuses.

STAY?
Help build up a tiny startup you love. Meaningful work, massive impact, ownership and solid engineering growth.

Which would you have chosen?

I chose to stay. And here's why:

Took part in Francesco Ciulla's live stream of the 2021 Buggy Christmas! 🎄

I felt really grateful to have connected with many great people/developers from around the world over the past couple of years.
