Hello,
I"m Andressa

Software Developer based in Germany

Andressa

Hi!

I am a software developer from Brazil and currently living in Cologne, Germany. My career path began at an young age creating WordPress themes. Later I gathered professional experiences focused on creating applications' backend, utilising Java, Kotlin and Spring Boot, which did not prevent me from exploring and learning frontend technologies, as I enjoy both sides. I’m also an avid traveler and I have deep interest in arts, especially design and photography.

Experience

Apprenticeship in Software Development

  • Backend

  • IoT Solutions

As an apprentice, my main goal was to learn and improve my skills. I developed two projects in Kotlin utilising the Ktor framework and htmx library. Those projects also had a simple UI, designed by me. Another project I took part in was a company owned project for energy metering, which had the backend in Kotlin and Spring Boot and frontend with Vue.js. I helped implementing new features from backend to frontend.
