Hello, I'm Edith Förster. I'm a Full-Stack developer within my first year of experience. I enjoy building sites & apps. My focus is on the MERN-Stack.
About me
After graduating with a Master of Science in Computing in the Humanities, I decided to further specialize in Full-Stack Development. I enrolled in a Professional Certificate program and learned to build, deploy, test, run, and manage full-stack applications. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I enjoy the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, Node.js, and MongoDB. TypeScript, Next.js and Python with Django are also familiar to me. I am always looking to learn new technologies. Currently, I am looking for a full-time position as a software developer.
When I'm not coding, I'll be probably practicing acrobatics or flow arts, read a book about some topic that got me hooked, or meet up with friends.
