Where I've Worked
May. 2019 – Feb. 2020
I was a web development bootcamp mentor. Among the responsibilities was to teach 12 hours of weekly classes and the evaluation of projects.
I taught people who had no previous experience in the programming world. The topics of the classes ranged from pseudocodigo, basic algorithms, introduction to programming language, object-oriented programming, data disign and modeling, SQL, API building, front-end development with HTML/CSS/JS and application of philosophies like first mobile and methodologies like BEM.
Although i could teach almost any class of the program, i focused more on class that were related to back-end development.
