Prometsource milestones

Rocks and milestones

It is important to celebrate milestones.  It reminds us of God's faithfulness in our lives.  It gives us strength in times of trouble.

I am writing down the list of important activities and milestones in my career in Prometsource (November 2017 - January 2022) in a chronological order.  

  1. Became an trusted and reliable team member under Joan (our manager).  
  2. Drupal 8 Certified Developer.
  3. Shared values and culture to the team under Joan.
  4. I was promoted as Project Manager from Senior Developer (early 2019).
  5. Within a few days of the promotion, suffered depression (not clinically diagnosed though).  God was faithful in this season and I learned a lot. I am now able to relate more to others suffering depression.  Exercise was a big help that God used to get me out of it.
  6. Now under a new team (Julie) and back to senior developer role, also became a trusted and reliable team member.  Established myself as performance, backend, migrate specialized Drupal dev.
  7. Shared values and culture to the team under Julie.
  8. Solved various performance issues - 8k form loads on node edit form, slow twig storage (https://bryanmanalo.com/how-use-new-relic), downtime issue max clients + base instance (April - May 2021), improved slow queries (https://bryanmanalo.com/using-sql-explain-plan)
  9. I have grown to handle stress and pressure better.  Thank you Jesus for making me stronger and tougher.
  10. Helped mold a great team under Julie, cherishing the good and challenging times and team mates.
  11. Promoted as Solutions Architect (mid 2021).
