Trainee Developer

First of all, had a practical task aimed to check my knowledge in JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
Performed that task completely with all extra items (see shopping-cart in the portfolio below).

During the internship, started to learn back-end web development with building the Node.js 
application written in TypeScript (mainly) and JavaScript. Got to know the basic abstraction layers of 
such applications: database (domain), services and controllers. Understood how to create models and 
make SQL queries using Objection.js and Knex.js. At the services’ level, implemented CRUD 
operations for working with a PostgreSQL database. Used Express.js for building a RESTful API at 
the controllers’ level as well as Joi for data validation and sanitization. Also, realized filtering and 
pagination. With JWT, performed authentication and authorization. There is a GitHub repository with 

that application (see bus-station-test in the portfolio below). Unfortunately, due to the economic crisis 
caused by the pandemic of COVID-19, was not appointed to the job position of junior web developer.
