Valeria Moulin

Hi! I'm Valeria, a full-stack developer from Berlin. I'm a graduate of the CareerFoundry course in web development. While learning to code, I've encountered many challenges that presented great self-discipline skills and agility in problem solving. I discovered a particular high sympathy towards the backend side (I especially enjoyed working with Node.js and building databases). I'm very excited to start this new career and will put my efforts and dedication into this new passion, which is growing stronger with each new tech skill I'm learning. I'm very adaptable to my surroundings and have a strong interest in new technologies.

Career Change

Working as a bartender for over 13 years, I came to the realization that I wanted to do something more meaningful for the world. My admiration for programming brought me to challenge and test myself by changing my career and expanding my knowledge for better purposes. I am currently seeking a position in a sustainable and diverse industry with visions of creating a harmonious future, sharing my passion, and assisting with my skills as a full-stack developer to take my career to the next level and promote those missions. I look forward to creating new projects with teammates from around the world.

Some of the technologies I've been working with recently:

• JavaScript (ES6+)
• TypeScript
• React
• React Native
• Angular
• node.js
• MongoDB
• HTML
• CSS
• Heroku
• MongoDB
• Api Building
• Ajax & JSON
• PostgreSQL
• AWS
• Express
• Bootstrap
• JQuery
• SASS/SCSS
• RESTful & CRUD

Personal Life & Interests

Born in Moscow, Russia, and raised in Israel, most of my life I've been nomadic with my family around the world. Traveling was always a big part of my life, and I grew up with a strong desire to discover new places and cultures. It was another good reason to change my career to remote opportunities as a web developer. Those experiences taught me to be open-minded, friendly, mindful, and easy-going around different communities and people.

Except for the recent deep dive into the virtual code world, I'm also a jewelry crafting hobbyist and love to create unique adornments out of old antiques, sort of reviving them.

I love photography, I'm especially fascinated with analog photography and its' element of surprise. I see beauty and mystery in catching the daily lives of random people in the streets around the globe to a timeless developed frame.

Well-being and a healthy lifestyle, has a huge importance in my routine. So I maintain my physical and mental health with yoga flows, bouldering, and jogging to keep the body energized with a happier mindset and better concentration on my daily tasks.

Riding my motorcycle is another big passion of mine, and it would be a huge personal accomplishment if I could ride around the world on two wheels one day.
