ONLINE LANGUAGE LEARNING PLATFORM WITH OPENAI
For this project, I developed the frontend using React and the backend with Node.js, meticulously planning the architecture to ensure seamless organization and alignment between both sides. I was particularly excited to integrate AI from OpenAI into the platform, utilizing it both for content creation and for correcting student speech, enhancing the overall learning experience.

PLATFORM TO MANAGE DATA FROM CROP HARVESTS AND SALES
I took the opportunity to dive deeper into React by focusing on key concepts like Reducers, states, useEffect, and context, while also implementing custom hooks where necessary. The complexity of the web page provided a valuable challenge, helping me effectively learn and apply the powerful tools React offers.

GAME OF THRONES CHARACTERS
In my first experience with React, I concentrated on learning how to correctly set up and use React Router for seamless navigation. I emphasized creating reusable components and organizing my code into a clear, easy-to-understand structure. Additionally, I integrated an API to enhance the app's functionality.

EVENT AND ATTENDEE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
I learned how to integrate frontend and backend code effectively. Implementing user authorization in the backend and creating a functional login page were particularly interesting challenges. The website uses user roles to dynamically control content visibility, allowing or restricting access based on user permissions.

WEB SCRAPING
In this project, I learned the fundamentals of web scraping and how to implement it correctly. I carefully analyzed the target webpage to understand its structure. I then built a web scraper for a simple site, focusing on data storage. Additionally, I set up code to launch the scraper directly from the package.json file.

Hi, I’m Lydon Alves
I’m a full-stack developer based in Granada, Spain. Over the past year, I’ve balanced a full-time job with my passion for coding, dedicating most of my free time to learning by building projects and sharpening my skills. My experience has equipped me to create responsive web applications using React, Node.js, MongoDB, and JavaScript. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise with Angular through my latest project, which is still in progress.
I particularly enjoy working on projects that solve real-world problems. There’s something incredibly satisfying about turning an idea into a functional solution. When I’m not coding, you can find me hiking, playing board games or video games with friends, or staying active through calisthenics, gym workouts, or helping with tree planting at a land restoration project.
I thrive both in team settings and when working independently. My experience as a summer camp manager honed my teamwork and leadership skills, while my time as a teacher and developer has made me adept at self-motivation and working autonomously. I’m always eager to connect with others who share my passion for technology, so feel free to reach out if you’d like to collaborate or just chat.
