When I started my second semester of MCA, I was unsure about my future career path. Like many students, I was searching for direction. It was during this time that I discovered Dharamshala.co, which offered a testing program. Little did I know that this opportunity would set me on a course that would shape my career in unexpected ways.
Beginning with Dharamshala.co
I was attracted to Dharamshala.co because of its emphasis on quality assurance and the learning opportunities it provided. After passing their test, I was accepted into the QA program, which became a pivotal moment in my journey. It gave me essential skills and introduced me to the broader world of software development.
Learning Through QA Experience
As a QA intern, I worked on a range of projects, including the Cirkl app, automation testing, and user acceptance testing. These experiences helped me understand the critical role of software quality and improved my analytical skills. I faced challenges along the way, but with the support of my peers, I was able to overcome them and grow professionally.
Exploring Different Fields
During my time at Dharamshala.co, I was encouraged to explore new fields, including cybersecurity, data visualisation, and Python programming. This broadened my technical knowledge and allowed me to contribute to a variety of projects, each of which enriched my skill set.
College Project: Building Kamao
For my college project, I developed an app called Kamao using the Flutter framework. The challenges I encountered during this project helped me build problem-solving skills and improved my technical abilities, giving me confidence in my development work.
Transitioning to Full-Stack Development
As my skills advanced, so did my interest in full-stack development. I dived into both frontend and backend technologies, focusing on the Flutter ecosystem. A key milestone in this journey was my work on the Nabble app, where I applied full-stack principles and refined my expertise in application development.
Strengthening My Core Skills
I continue to build on my core skills as a developer by staying updated on emerging technologies and industry best practices. Through online courses, community involvement, and personal projects, I push myself to stay ahead in this ever-evolving field.
My journey from uncertainty to full-stack development has been full of learning and growth. I encourage anyone who feels unsure about their future to explore new opportunities and embrace challenges—you never know where they might lead.
Thank you for reading about my journey. I’m excited to share more as I continue to learn and grow!
