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.
- Became an trusted and reliable team member under Joan (our manager).
- Drupal 8 Certified Developer.
- Shared values and culture to the team under Joan.
- I was promoted as Project Manager from Senior Developer (early 2019).
- 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.
- 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.
- Shared values and culture to the team under Julie.
- 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)
- I have grown to handle stress and pressure better. Thank you Jesus for making me stronger and tougher.
- Helped mold a great team under Julie, cherishing the good and challenging times and team mates.
- Promoted as Solutions Architect (mid 2021).
