About Fernando Castillo

Always learning. Always eager to learn and practice new things that could help and assist me with my current goals, going from something as little as “How to make the perfect airplane” to “React - The Complete Guide”. It is thrilling for me that almost anything that you’d wish to know about, you can easily find on the Internet, and most of the time, it is free; this has been a valuable tool for me. During my time in university, I took classes, but I wanted more, so I enrolled in some extra courses in Udemy to strengthen my knowledge. And since learning about technologies was not my only interest, I took some dancing courses at school and loved it; since then, I ended up taking at least one dancing class every semester. I’ve been fortunate to pursue some internships during my time at university. I’ve worked in a local startup in which I learned a lot since we were only five people and I was able to put my skills to the test. Afterward, I moved to the capital of Mexico and interned at a larger company where I discovered what real life is. It was such a strong growth experience. Lastly, I moved back to my hometown and took an internship at an international company. This proved to be the best professional experience that I had, I was able to work on several projects and be treated with trust. And even though I have to admit that graduating during a pandemic can hit you hard on your plans and career goals, I learned to appreciate how fortunate my situation can be; and from that thought, I tried to get the most out of it. So, naturally what I’ve been doing is learning non-stop, polishing new skills, and staying optimistic. My skills include quick adaptation, responsibility, teamwork, creativity, excellent time-management, and a good dash of optimism. I currently possess valuable knowledge and experience in Angular, React, Typescript, JavaScript, Node, Jest, Mocha, MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, Java, Python, Git, Postman, Jenkins, RabbitMQ, AWS, Google Analytics, SourceTree, and Ubuntu. And I'm also currently learning, taking courses, or doing little projects with AndroidStudio, Ionic, C, GCloud, Spring, Atom, ASP.NET, and C#.
