Few years ago when i started my career as a software developer, I was able to build a few personal projects before going further to gain more skills. I was just going through my folders and found some of them. Remember the hosting for frontend is done on netlify and backend hosted on Heroku.
Some of the stacks involved are

React .JS
MaterialUI
Bootstrap
HTLM5
CSS3
Python/Django
JSS
Webserver- gunicorn
jQuery UI
Animate CSS
Google font API
Ionicons
Lightbox
Isotope
Some APIs
And other JavaScript libraries and tools

Hosting a backend project can be tough especially working with python. But the most important thing is to consistently grow your skills and be ready for work.


1. A movie App- You can search for any movies or series you like.

2. A weather app- you can search for any location in real time

3. A property listing project- built largely with python/django for backend
http://debbie-realestate.herokuapp.com/

4. A simple demo project for a company
https://energio.netlify.app/

Dont despise the days of your little beginning....keep growing. This is an encouragement to anyone out there struggling to get your foot down. If as a mother with children I could grow my career there is nothing limiting you.

When I look back I smile .

Very informative, Are your source codes available?

You've got something really beautiful going on here.

Great!

No they usually on private repo on GitHub

Private repo? If I may ask, why?
How would potential employers see your code? Why are you paying for a private repo when you're just learning? How would others contribute to your code? Just why?

GitHub commit is not the only means to access ones competence. I choose projects to make public and all. All these small projects doesn't need contribution. Simple HTML,css,and JavaScript....unless it is a big project that requires complexity.

Not everyone is cutout fully into open source contribution... though it is a good way to grow and show your skills. Maybe over time I will catch the vibes

Whether you like it or not, most recruiters would always use GitHub commits as one of the parameters for judging applicants. Unless you've gotten enough experience and now a Senior.

My advice though

That's how stupid they're. I will go with what you say. Not some stupid Q&A but in-depth conversation.
That's where u know who's shit and who's the shit

Obviously she is a senior ..if you check her handle you would see she isn't new to the game ..this are probably old projects

.... there isn't so much to it though ... It has more to do with experience, also skills but mainly experience and she meets that from what I can see. I might be wrong though

Her profile ..do some research and look her up on LinkedIn and twitter and I mentioned that these should be old projects (I think the preceding text from her post was few years ago )

You're right bro
She said it clearly, "some old projects"

Do you have young Nigerian females in tech that you mentor?

It's a crazy world out there for a lot of females trying to get into tech in Nigeria with a lot of males literally insinuating that they are dumb and unworthy of working in tech or for the more daring males, outrightly saying they offered their bodies to get tech roles.

It would be great to have experienced and successful Nigerian female techs like you mentoring younglings coming through. I'm a male old-school tech and I am really saddened how the young male techs denigrate their female counterparts.

The tech space in Nigeria has to be "softened" from its current "bone-to-bone" men's club to a gender friendly club

Aswear! People actually think being a senior is equivalent to the number of years you've been coding.

You can code for 10years and still be mid level or entry level.
Senior na hierarchy wey dey exist only in an organisation.

Being a senior means you're very good and better than most devs in the field
When you talk Senior devs , I mean people like lennart poettering, Dylanraps, Linus Torvalds etc
