In this app users can have profiles, friends, posts and private chats. I learnt a lot about Mongoose while doing it, as some queries (like friend requests) were a bit challenging but thankfully their docs have plenty of information which guided me.

Implementing private messaging was also challenging. It was my first time working with Socket.io, but I did it by leveraging their 'rooms' functionality plus some JavaScript in the backend.

A film reviewing app. It uses TMDB and OMDB's APIs to get the films' data so users can review, rate, like, make lists and keep a diary of their watched films.

I found Redux to be extremely helpful once I got the hang of it. I felt my components were cleaner and I was able to build new functionality much faster than I would without it. And Typescript? It helped me catch a lot of errors while I was writing code. It's an amazing tool!

The classic game with player vs computer and player vs player modes. I made this to learn about Test-Driven Development and better my understanding of Object Oriented Programming.

It was made in vanilla JS so it's very heavy on DOM manipulation, which was tricky to do some times, so I learned a lot about the DOM and now I feel confident working with it.

Hi again. My name's Julio Bermúdez. I live in Venezuela (GMT-4) and have a degree in Medical Laboratory Science. One day, I found about web development—about building web apps/sites by typing stuff into a computer and thought:

How awesome is that!?

I started learning on The Odin Project and have been loving it since then. I've taught myself different tools to help me create better apps. But there are so many other things I want to learn about web development! I'm currently interested in NextJS and GraphQL, waiting for the day I get to try them out.

Some other things about me? I'm bilingual, C2 certified. I like watching films (1917, a recent favorite) and playing video games (well, I'm 25!).
