My name is Alexandre, I'm a soft drink connoisseur and a 2nd year Software Engineering student at Concordia University with a passion for mobile developpement who is currently looking for a software engineering/developer internship.
Ever since I picked up my first iPhone, I was intrigued by the apps on the phone. Not only did I wanted to create something of my own, but ultimately an application that will excite people the way I was the first time I played on the iPhone.
About 4 years ago, I was watching the annual iPhone Apple event. At this event, they presented a new programming language Swift. I remember how the programmers we excited about the news. Personally, I thought it was such a "nerd" reaction to being excited over a new programming language.
However, at that time, I was not sure what I wanted to do in life and decided to give it a try since I always wanted to learn how to code.
The Next month, I picked up the official Swift programming language book on the iBooks app and start reading. It was not the easiest read since I knew nothing about code, but I didn't want to give up. I decided to search online for help. While searching, I stumbled upon some videos explaining some basic programming concepts. Later I found a video explaining Swift.
Once I started to understand the concepts. I started to understand how to write functions, dictionaries, classes, etc., and what I could do with them. However, I wanted to use what I learned to build something. From there I started building small iOS projects.
A year after, I decided to enroll into software engineering in university. I have complete 2 years, while working part-time and working on some personal mobile projects that I list further.
In University I learned the following programming languages: Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP. As well as reinforce, my computer science knowledge.
