Description and Challenges
Working as part of the Eatable development team was an invaluable experience, as I had the opportunity to collaborate with highly skilled and experienced developers. This professional setting allowed me to immerse myself in a team environment and learn from senior developers, gaining valuable insights along the way. It didn't take long for me to find my role within the team and discover how I could make meaningful contributions.
One of the primary focuses of the development team was scalability, with the overarching goal of making Eatable accessible to as many people as possible to combat food waste. This objective prompted the utilization of technologies I hadn't previously worked with, such as Docker, which expanded my technical repertoire.
Eatable remains one of my most cherished projects, offering a wealth of new concepts and technologies that significantly enhanced my skills as a developer. Moreover, being able to work on an application that aligned with my passion for environmentalism made the experience even more fulfilling.
