Developer Journey is a brand new month-to-month collection to highlight various and international builders sharing relatable challenges, alternatives, and wins of their journey. Each month, we are going to highlight builders around the globe, the Google instruments they leverage, and the type of merchandise they’re constructing.
In December, we’re persevering with our #DevJourney by offering members of our neighborhood with a platform to share their tales via our social platforms. This month, it’s our pleasure to function three members spanning merchandise, together with Google Developer Consultants. Take pleasure in studying via their entries under and be looking out on social media platforms, the place we will even showcase their work.

What Google instruments have you ever used?
I often work as an internet frontend developer. My principal device is JavaScript as a programming language utilizing some frameworks. On account of my job, I work with React.js and previously, I’ve labored with AngularJS. And one among my favourite Google applied sciences is Firebase. I am a heavy consumer of Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore as Database, and Cloud Capabilities for making Serverless net apps.
Which device has been your favourite to make use of? Why?
I really like Firebase as a result of its companies enable me to have the functionalities of a backend with out the necessity of a number of configuration. I am a main frontend developer, so the backend will not be one among my nice abilities. Firebase makes it really easy to have a Serverless Backend with all of the companies that they supply 12 months by 12 months. The final replace on Firebase Internet hosting makes the platform highly effective.
Please share one thing you could have constructed previously utilizing Google instruments.
I constructed the frontend of my previous startup utilizing Angular, and a few Firebase Companies, Auth, and Database primarily.
What recommendation would you give somebody beginning of their developer journey?
My principal recommendation is to not hand over. Some days you’ll be able to really feel annoyed or like an imposter, however it’s okay. I used to really feel this manner day by day. Have fun your small wins and give attention to the large image in your journey.

What Google instruments have you ever used?
I have been working as a software program developer for over 15 years. All through my journey, I had the chance to develop hybrid cellular apps for the Android platform, however my experience lies in full-stack growth, particularly utilizing Angular. I’ve additionally created initiatives that use Firebase and Google Cloud companies, resembling CloudRun.
Which device has been your favourite to make use of? Why?
I am very keen about Angular. Given my Java background, I loved studying Angular with TypeScript, and it felt very acquainted. Angular makes it simpler to develop complicated frontend functions as it is a full framework. It offers instruments such because the Angular CLI to scaffold a mission rapidly, create elements, companies and different file sorts, and construct the mission for manufacturing deployment. It doesn’t matter in case you are constructing an in depth utility or micro-fronts; Angular has you lined with no matter you want. I like Angular Materials for the UI half, which offers trendy UI elements and accessibility options. And final however not least, Firebase. Firebase is a good platform, from internet hosting net functions to offering direct entry to a real-time database and safe authentication, and fast-tracking mission growth.
Please share one thing you’ve constructed previously utilizing Google instruments.
Apart from the functions I’ve developed at work, I’ve constructed a coaching portal utilizing Angular, Angular Materials, and Firebase. This coaching portal collates all of the free programs I host on Youtube in Portuguese, and college students can monitor what classes they’ve watched. And on the finish of the coaching, they get a certificates of completion to allow them to use the hours and current on the college or their employer. I’ve handed the 100k college students mark, and it is unimaginable how straightforward it’s to scale a mission in Firebase, from internet hosting capabilities to entry to Firestore. Even with greater than 100k customers, it prices lower than a quick meals meal (month-to-month)!
What recommendation would you give somebody beginning of their developer journey?
Be part of a neighborhood. The great thing about working in tech is that we have now superb individuals prepared to assist!
Though seeing so many alternative applied sciences and acronyms is perhaps scary, don’t be concerned about studying every part instantly. Give attention to understanding the fundamentals so that you could have a powerful basis. Additionally, give attention to one subject at a time; when you’re completed with that subject, incrementally add new ideas or study the subsequent subject in your record.
And eventually, in tech, we’re college students eternally. So all the time be curious.

TensorFlow with Keras. It’s totally straightforward to construct machine studying fashions and take them to manufacturing utilizing TensorFlow Prolonged!
Please share one thing you could have constructed previously utilizing Google instruments.
I’ve constructed an data retrieval mannequin utilizing TensorFlow Keras and Hugging Face Transformers. It was used to extract data from tutorial papers to automate a repetitive activity for researchers.
What recommendation would you give somebody beginning of their developer journey?
They need to discover the nearest Google Builders neighborhood. It helps you develop and meet different builders utilizing the identical stack as you do.
