At Sellhustle I was leading the team in integrating and improving web applications.
The work included but was not limited to integrating web apps with graphql APIs, coding new designs, and developing networking and deployment solutions for multitenant e-commerce architectures.
I learned a lot, not only from working with new technologies but also working with a team, conceiving and discussing ideas, time management and finally putting all that into code.
