My Engineering Experience with Google, Zenveus, and Teamo
Have you ever wondered what it's like to work as an engineer with industry giants like Google, collaborate with talented individuals in startups like Zenveus, and be part of a cutting-edge development team like Teamo? In this article, I will share my engineering experience, working with these renowned organizations, and the invaluable lessons and growth I experienced throughout my journey.
Google: A Gateway to Learning and Community
Working with Google was a dream come true. I was fortunate enough to have Saad Hamid as the community manager, who played a crucial role in my growth as an engineer. Saad not only provided me with valuable guidance but also introduced me to a community of like-minded individuals. Through this community, I made lasting friendships and gained exposure that I never could have imagined.
During my time at Google, I had the opportunity to lead and teach over 50 online coding boot camps, covering a wide range of topics including JavaScript, Flutter, Cyber Security, Python, and Machine Learning. These boot camps allowed me to refine my skills while empowering others through education. Additionally, I led online boot camps with over 100 participants on Google Meet, creating an interactive learning environment where knowledge was shared and collaborations flourished.
Zenveus: A Seniors' Startup Experience
Zenveus, founded by Kumail and Ehtesham, is a startup led by two prodigies. Joining Zenveus was a turning point in my engineering journey. Kumail and Ehtesham, as my seniors, provided me with invaluable guidance, helping me learn how to code and giving me a kickstart in my full-stack development journey. Their mentorship and expertise were instrumental in shaping my skills and professional growth.
During my time at Zenveus, I worked on various projects, utilizing technologies such as headless CMS(Contentful) to create custom APIs, collaborating with the tech and design teams to build complex charts using React Chart libraries, and revamping Zenveus' brand design and website using the Gatsby framework. Working with Zenveus allowed me to apply my skills and contribute to real-world projects under the mentorship of experienced professionals.
