My name is Lathe and I'm accused of being a software developer. I've had the pleasure of working across the spectrum of projects from COBOL to React, and this is a short portfolio I put together to summarize my career up to today.
Per their website:
Base Camp Coding Academy (BCCA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the intention to create a pipeline for under-advantaged individuals in Mississippi to access careers in software development by offering an immersive, hands-on, and fast-paced program designed to transform passionate individuals into job-ready software engineers.
Base Camp is not only consistent of the career technical path of the Coding Technology degree from Northwest Mississippi Community College, but has a myriad of sponsors such as Renasant Bank, Core Logic (now Cotality), and CSpire. You can see their whole list of sponsors here
Below are the highlights with links to some of the stuff I've worked on. I'm working on making them publicly usable so some may just be a link to Github.
Enjoy!
I decided I wanted to go back to web development and build on to the skills I gained in school. To my suprise, a very cool cyber security company needed a Full Stack Dev. My current employer, Circadence, has taught me so much about Typescript, React, Python, and best practices within the web development space and the cyber security space.
At BCCA, I started looking at legacy systems after realizing how vital yet overlooked they are. After graduating from Base Camp, my investment in learning COBOL + the AS400 paid off — for two years, I worked on a lean team fixing session issues and developing COBOL applications for Three Rivers, North Mississippi's largest development district.
During the spring of 2020, I was able to test my newly aquired Django skills to make a small project for my internship at Renasant Bank called CourseTrack. This would be my first time being involved in a teams meeting, creating a platform from top to bottom, and seeing how a team within an organization works.
Initially I started my journey with Python, and was with a developer named Matthew who was a much more experienced programmer. This taught me a lot how being surrounded by talent can bring out the talent in others.
