Hey, I'm Ren. I'm a Software Engineer based in Ireland.
I am a Software Engineer with over 4 years of industry experience. I am currently working as the Backend Lead Developer at Bynaric where we are creating social housing management solutions using React JS and PHP with Laravel.
I had previously been working as a Software Engineer at Inkerman Technologies where I had been using PHP with the Laravel framework, along with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Ajax & jQuery to build websites with CMS and web-based bespoke systems such as inventory management, ticketing and sales systems.
I graduated from Dundalk Institute of Technology in 2018 with a Bachelors of Science in Computing and a Higher Bachelors in Cloud Computing.
I am currently working as the Backend Lead Developer at Bynaric where we are creating social housing management solutions using React JS and PHP with Laravel.
I was one of the main software engineers at Inkerman Technologies where I worked in a fast-paced development schedule. l worked on over 15 different bespoke systems for clients in various industries, such as ticket booking, dance school management and e-commerce systems. I also built custom websites for clients along with a CMS to allow clients to add blog-posts, gallery images, event listings etc. to their website. I would use PHP with Bootstrap, JS, Ajax, jQuery, MySQL and the Laravel framework to build these systems and websites. I've set up Linux cloud machines, prepared their databases and deployed the systems onto them. I've also built Python web scrapers to collect data to be put onto new systems.
I worked on both the front and back-end of major projects with my team by following Scrum and Agile methodologies using Jira Kanban boards to deliver projects in a timely and efficient manner. In my 2 years of working at Inkerman Technologies, I grew more confident in my coding abilities and increased my skill set a great deal.
During this course, I got an overview of cloud technologies such as learning about cloud machines, load balancers, etc. while also gaining experience with this tech by using AWS.
I was selected by the Head of the Computing Department of DKIT, Christian Horn, as one of 14 students from DKIT to participate in the GGULIVRR @ Łódź 2017 project. This project took place in Łódź, Poland and was a two-week programme where we worked in teams of 5, consisting of students from different colleges across Europe to create a contextual application based around the city of Łódź. We worked on our application idea for 2 weeks and then presented it to our fellow participants and industry professionals. It was a great experience to participate in.
During this course, the main programming language I learned was Java but I also learned some PHP and C#. I gained knowledge on many technologies such as design patterns, networks, security, SQL, Oracle, JSP, SOAP & REST, Photoshop, Powershell & CSS.
