A brief introduction about myself, Barbara Calderon, software developer.

Hi, I'm Barbara Calderon! 👋

(English version | Clique aqui para versão Português-BR)

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil (2023). I'm a technology enthusiast with a special interest in programming softwares. I enjoy creating something out of nothing.

In terms of projects, here are a few I've worked upon recently:

• My thesis was a pilot project on "The Brazilian State Official Gazettes web Restful API" in which I used the following techs: Python, Javascript, CSS, HTML, Flask, Flask Smorest, Flask Migrate, Flask JWT Extended, SQLAlchemy, Marshmallow, GUnicorn, Psycopg2, SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Passlib, bash script, requirements file, deployment on Render and ElephantSQL.

• Another project you might find interesting is "The 12 Barcodes API", a simple, user-friendly RESTful API that provides an easy and practical way to generate barcodes for your applications using HTTP POST requests. If you are a browser user, you can generate them through Swagger. This project was developed in the Flask ecosystem, adopts MVC architecture, and forgoes the traditional database.

• I also deployed recently a "Simple Slot Machine Game" in order to practice Front-end skills using HTML5, CSS3 and pure Javascript. It's hosted on Render and I used Flask and GUnicorn to do the backend work. Simple project but fun.

• I got my hands on a new Python stack with Plotly, Dash and Dash-Mantine-Components, to create a web application that offers insights into the voting behavior of US legislators on various bills "Majority App". All you need is structured CSV data to plug it. I suggest extending this project and creating your own version, adapting it accordingly. Dash is highly dynamic, as it's built on top of React.js, a JavaScript library for building web components.

• Last but not least, I've been working on some projects related to the Java ecosystem for backend development (fmt-educonnect, notelock, fmt-tutor-mate, fmt-library-manager, fmt-educational-catalog). I'm quite fond of Java. I've been developing Restful APIs using technologies such as Spring Boot, Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Lombok, PostgreSQL, creating database schemas and more. Currently, these projects are created in Portuguese, my native language.

More about me:

I have a passion for documentaries, purpose-driven organizations, black coffee, engaging book stories, teamwork, science fiction and suspense movies, pesto sauce, Linux, and the community experience. I am a software developer at DBJus (Information Technology Company focused on Data Intelligence in Judicial Processes), a part of the Jive Investments group, and I also work on a diversified number of autonomous projects on the side.

General notes

I'm here to learn, to share what I know and to keep a track of it all.

For this reason, besides sharing codes, I also share study notes on public repositories here on GitHub:
