Summary

Started with self learning on HTML and CSS before getting a job as a trainer which helped accelerate learning process since learning something new came with the responsibility of being able to explain it to others.

The challenges faced along the way and some of the professionals who attended the classes hastened the need to upgrade my skills

A couple of years into the training job started with JavaScript . Once again having to learn to develop the course myself and to be able to understand concepts at a deeper level in order to explain them to others made me want to go further.

Half way in the training experience I went into developing with WordPress and at first I had to rely a lot on strong CSS and developing JavaScript skills in order to maximize the experience for the user since most of the PHP functionalities were done through plugins at the time.

Afterwards being part of a small team of dedicated developers, I started to gain experience with PHP / MySQL (and eventually started a course on this subject)

Finally, the last few years have been focused on web development, building mostly with WordPress but other platforms as well (Drupal, Shopify or PrestaShop) over 80 projects. I am coding every day in PHP and JavaScript but I still enjoy applying some CSS tricks whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Work History

Trainer - HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, PHP, BS

Avantaj Consulting
Bucharest, B
09.2010 - Current

I have been training classes of up to 10-12 people on subjects like HTML, CSS basics + advanced, Javascript (basics + intermediate), jQuery, PHP, Bootstrap and even some SEO and UI/UX basics. For about 10 years I had been doing this in person. After 2020 I have been training these classes mostly online and the attendance gradually dropped to about 3 people per class.

  • Monitored and reported trainee progress, introducing new learning tools to address individual needs. - This was one of the biggest challenge - when different trainees have different backgrounds and/or different motivation. However, in time, I polished my technique to manage extra tasks for the more advanced trainees and in the same time cater to the more beginner ones needs.
  • Provided several training for companies usually in their office such as Metro (Cash and Carry) or Auchan
  • Overall this has been a wonderful experience especially when people start realizing that they have progressed to the point they do not recognize themselves even during a short 6-week module.
