geekelo commented 4 months ago

Hello Hiring Team,

Hello, I'm Eloghene Otiede, I eagerly would like the opportunity to work at Veeva. Looking at my current technical skills I am confident that I am a fit candidate for this job. However, I'll be more excited to join your team if taking up this role will complement my commitment to learning, enthusiasm for growth and innovation, and satisfy my curiosity to improve on projects.

I aim to add significant value to any organization I join. and any project I take up. Therefore, if I am given this role, I will prioritize client satisfaction in delivering exceptional projects and constantly strive for continuous improvement of products and skillsets necessary to maintain cutting-edge standards on every project while contributing to the ongoing success and growth of the team.

I am an excellence-driven software engineer and a goal-focused team lead, who has crafted and launched over 50 websites that not only look good but work seamlessly across devices. Being a result-oriented software engineer, I have collaborated with stakeholders to clearly define project scope, requirements, and deliverables, repeatedly achieving a 15% reduction in project timeline.

I have spent the past 7 years mastering skills in; React, Javascript, CSS, Ruby on Rails, leadership, problem-solving, etc, simultaneously leveraging acquired design skills, in bringing UI designs to life on the front-end and also concurrently, engineering robust and scalable solutions on the back-end. My exceptional delivery of products has not only saved the time and resources of my clients but also significantly increased profits for more than 11 companies.

SKILLSET: Front-End: JavaScript, React, Redux, HTML5, CSS3, React Native Back-End: Ruby on Rails, Ruby, Rails, Node, Express, Postgresql MySQL, API, PHP Tools & Methods: WordPress, Elementor, Git, GitHub, Render, Mobile/Responsive Development, Jest, React Testing Library, RSpec, TDD, Chrome Dev Tools

Examples of projects I have worked on using these skills include:

E-commerce Website: Developed feature-rich e-commerce platform enabling seamless online shopping experiences.

Content Management System: Created CMS for clients to manage their website content easily.

Developed Backend API only Applications using Ruby on Rails

API Integration: Integrated third-party APIs to enhance the functionality of web applications

Static and Dynamic Websites: Allowing clients to showcase information about their companies, organizations, or services using React.

STRENGTHS: I have a strong ability to replicate Figma UI designs using WordPress or CSS with 100% accuracy. At Eloti Designs, I started as an Intern in 2015 with graphics and UI/UX design, progressing to WordPress web design and software development. I mastered design concepts such as emphasis, alignment, balance, contrast, and more, enabling me to create innovative, user-friendly designs that convey a company's brand identity.

My knack for adaptability, strong sense of accountability, and ability to empower team members have fostered a reliable and trustworthy work ethic.

WEAKNESSES: As I would prefer to maintain transparency, straightforwardness, inability to say no and over-commitment are three major areas that I have recognized and still improving on. In doing so, I have taken steps to actively refine my communication style, implement strategies to better manage my commitments, and effectively allocate my time around tasks.

COMMITMENT TO GROWTH: I have further expanded my skills through advanced training at ALX Africa and Microverse. Where I spent over 2100 hours pair-programming and working remotely and asynchronously with people across different time zones.

EXPERIENCE IN LEADERSHIP I have also had the privilege of mentoring junior developers at Microverse, Eloti Designs, and the Females in Tech Institute. This experience has allowed me to not only share my knowledge but also develop strong soft skills, including pair programming, project conceptualization, critical-thinking leadership, conflict resolution, and time management. These soft skills have been instrumental in previous roles, where I effectively led cross-functional teams, resolved conflicts, handled complex projects, and met project deadlines

PROJECT 1: OILCHEM CERTIFICATE PORTAL This project aims to provide an effective solution to enable the Oilchem Mud School students and potential employers to digitally verify certificates of job applicants from Oilchem Mud School 📚 This project comprises of -

This application is built using Ruby on Rails API only for the Backend and React for the front end. Both Apps exist separately and are connected using Tokenization and CORS configuration. Although I prefer the simplicity of having both the React frontend and Ruby on Rails Backend on the same App, I often opt to separate the applications for easy maintainability of code, smooth future incorporation of new features and to decrease bugs.
