Working on the Philadelphia Fire Department (PFD) App was a very rewarding experience and something I have considered to a be a major milestone in my career as a developer. This unique opportunity allowed me to work alongside my classmate, Darielle Brown-Davis, to build a mobile experience for fire safety information under the instruction of Jervis Thompson and Troy Finamore. Working under a strict deadline definitely brought along some challenges, but having experienced mentors made it easier to follow a development plan that ensured we had our deliverables ready on time. The entire process gave us a glance on how to work with clients, understand their requirements and arrive at solutions all while learning and working with newer technologies!<\/p>\n
My favorite part of working at Vox Media is the emphasis they place on continued learning and professional growth. One thing you learn early on as a developer is that new things are happening every day\u2013there\u2019s never an opportunity to say you know it all. I am grateful to Vox Media for pushing all employees to better themselves professionally whether it is attending conferences, giving talks, signing up for online course or even getting involved in an internal programming-focused book club. Each day I\u2019m learning something new which is a testament to everyone\u2019s continued commitment to learning more and sharing that knowledge with others. Never stop learning!
