Coding as a hobby

I started coding in my free time and I fell in love with it. The reason was to help a friend by creating an ecommerce site for his small business (he creates furniture).

The backend is based on microservices architecture, written using Java, Spring and Spring Boot. The backend is tested using JUnit, MockMVC and Mockito for unit testing. For Integration Testing I used TestNG and Rest Assured.


The frontend is written in React, Redux and Material UI with which I didn't have any experience before, so I've learned along side developing this project. TestNG and Selenium were used in UI Testing.
