Backend Developer (Node.js + TypeScript + MongoDB) Currently building, learning, and documenting the journey.
Everywhere All At Once
Joined May 2020
About a month ago I decided I had to take my backend journey seriously. No shortcuts, No "just make it work" JavaScript. I'm finally learning things I used to skip, understanding how things really work and building with intention. This is me doing it the right way.

Today I finished the conversion of another one of my old projects to Typescript - a CRUD app I used to practice concepts like the fs module and handling file uploads. I will now start building projects from scratch with typescript to get an even better hold of the language.

I converted my WhatsApp bot project to Typescript. The bot sends OTPs to registered users whenever they text the correct phrase. I also refactored the folder structure, added logging, fixed bugs and built a new feature using Chart.js that shows monthly bot queries.

It's the first day of December. Final month to lock in for the year, best month to build habits for the new year. What will you do today ?🫵

I decided to start posting my progress as well. My first small win: I built a simple Todo API in TypeScript using a modular structure and ESLint + Prettier. TypeScript exposed a lot of my old bad habits, but now the code is cleaner and safer.

Genuinely though, how do you show your work as a backend dev?
I'm so jealous of designers. Their work speaks for them, no need for too much shalaye. Backend dev? Lol.
