-          As an apprentice, I learned the fundamentals of React, TypeScript,

-          Styled-Components. I also learned about the different design styles
-          and wireframing, and how to use Figma individually and as a team. I
-          was also taught on algorithms, data structure, web performance, and
-          the importance of accessibility.
+          At Listing Alert, I help to develop the mobile app with bare React
+          Native (non-Expo) along with developing our own API with Node,
+          Express, MongoDB and AWS S3 to be used for the real estate agents to
+          get notifications on property listings from potential buyers.
+          Additionally, the team and I developed a web dashboard with React for
+          companies to create agents, offices, and other tasks for their needs.
+          In all of the development process, we used Apollo GraphQL. Over 1600
+          agents across the country from RE/MAX to Century 21 Black Bear Realty

-          versioning (tagging and releases). We were also taught on branch
