Why front-end? Because I love design, and front-end lets me bring visual experiences to life. ✨ Along the way, I’ve learned something valuable, it’s super helpful to know a little about a range of tech stacks, even if they’re not your main thing. 💼 You don’t have to be a master of everything, but having that basic knowledge means that when an opportunity in another area pops up, you’re not starting from zero—you already have a starting point. 🌱 And here’s the kicker, while it’s great to explore, specializing in a particular tech stack is key. There’s a saying in tech: “If you claim to be good at everything, you’re probably just average at all of it.” Specialization is what truly makes you excel. But having a working knowledge of what’s out there? That’s how you stay adaptable, collaborative, and ready for anything. 🌍 So, keep learning, explore the basics of what’s common, and go deep in what you love! 🔍💻 #SoftwareDevelopment #TechJourney #CareerGrowth #TechSkills #Learning #ProfessionalDevelopment #TechCareers #UXDesign #ProductDesign #UserExperience #DesignThinking #Networking #CareerAdvice

My Daily Bread (Day 126) - Don't Just Talk About It. Show It. Titus 1:16 [NKJV] About two weeks ago, I made a conscious decision to take a backseat when it came to sharing/posting updates about the work that I have been doing. Besides, I have been doing very little of that in recent months since I began this new career journey. The truth is that I've been way too busy and tired 90% of the time to be posting/sharing an update. As someone following my passions with zero support on the homefront for nearly nine years, I've always longed for people with whom I could open up about my journey—people with whom I could share my struggles, frustrations, joy, and breakthroughs. When I consciously decided to stop sharing updates about the work that I had been doing, it wasn't because I didn't want to share my progress with the rest of the UX and front-end dev community. I would love to talk about my experiences and progress so far. Yet, at the same time, there's this part of me that is also aware that perhaps now isn't the best time to share about my progress. The fact is, there is still much work to be done. Truly. I am grateful for my boss (a practitioner himself) stepping in to provide much-needed assistance this week. Since then, he has also acknowledged on a few occasions the challenges I had been facing before he stepped in. I am glad I no longer have to face this incredible challenge alone. At least now, with his acknowledgement of those challenges, I feel less alone in this. From what I can tell regarding my progress & results, it could be weeks before I feel confident enough to share something more concrete (like screenshots and video recordings). For now, though, I have my work cut out for me. #mydailybread #dailydevotions #dailydevotionals #selfreflections #spiritualreflections #journals #actions #progress #results #resultsspeak #work #frontenddevelopers #frontendspecialists #ux #keepingalowprofile

Reflecting on the past few months, particularly during my #3MTT program, I have come to appreciate the growth I have experienced and the passion that continues to drive me forward in this field. During the #3MTT program, I have sharpen my skills as an intermediate product designer, delving deeper into the intricacies of user experience, interface design, and product development.

Looking forward, I envision myself pushing the boundaries of innovation in product design and frontend development. My ambition is to create user-centric experiences that not only solve problems but also evoke emotions and resonate with users on a deeper level. Whether it's through intuitive interfaces, seamless interactions, or visually stunning designs, I aspire to leave a lasting impact on the products I work on and the people who use them. To achieve all these aspirations, I have set myself some actionable goals though not limited to: Continuous upgrading my skillset Seeking mentorship from professionals Building a strong portfolio Embracing collaborations Staying true to my values Dear Future Me, as you read this letter, I hope you are proud of the journey you've embarked on and the person you've become. Remember to stay curious, stay passionate, and never stop chasing your dreams. The road ahead may be challenging, but with perseverance, dedication, and a steadfast belief in yourself, I have no doubt that you will achieve greatness in your career as a product designer and frontend developer. With excitement for the future Sylvester Adedigba

"Why I Create" 💌 Creating whether it’s through design, programming, or content is how I bring ideas to life. It’s my way of solving problems, telling stories, and leaving a small mark on the world. But it’s not just about the end result. It’s about the journey the late nights spent debugging, the sketches that didn’t make the cut, the excitement of seeing something take shape. That’s what keeps me going. Sharing my work isn’t about showing off; it’s about connecting. It’s about inspiring others, learning from their feedback, and building something bigger than myself. Now, I’m reaching a pivotal stage in my journey: the step of joining a BIG company where I can learn and continue to grow. My goal isn’t just to join it’s to be the ideal candidate, the person who brings value, innovation, and dedication to the team. Sharing my work is my way of showing that I’m ready not just for the challenges ahead but for the opportunity to create something meaningful with others. This is what drives me. This is why I create. By the way, you are not ready for what’s coming. 😉 #CareerUpdate #Development #Design #SoftwareEngineering #UIUX #JobOpportunities #Networking #TechCommunity #TechLead #WhyICreate #DesignJourney #ProgrammingLife #ContentCreation #IdealCandidate #CareerGoals #FutureReady #ProblemSolving #ProductDesigner

Mastering Bubble and Building in Public ✅ Today, I made significant strides in mastering Bubble while solving a key challenge with URL parameters. Here's what I learned and how I resolved it. I’ve been building alongside Gregory John Keegan, working on a responsive dashboard using Bubble. The dashboard includes left-side navigation for desktop users and top-header navigation for mobile users. While implementing the left-side navigation, I integrated URL Parameters to pass key-value information for dynamic content rendering. However, I encountered an issue: when clicking the navigation tabs, there was no feedback, and despite inspecting the page, the parameters weren’t updating in the URL as expected. After some troubleshooting, I realised that I had missed a crucial step: I hadn't added the destination page while setting up the URL parameters. Once I updated this, the navigation worked seamlessly. 🚀 This experience reinforced the importance of attention to detail and the need to test every feature thoroughly. ____________ Meeting me for the first time? Let’s connect! Hi, I’m Reginald. By day, I’m a Product Designer creating user-centered web and mobile experiences. By night, I’m a No-Code Innovator, building impactful solutions with Bubble.io.

Trying to land a Product Design role? The tech industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Layoffs and the rise of AI have created uncertainty. If you’re aspiring to be a Product Designer, you might be wondering how to break into this competitive field. While I don’t have all the answers as I too am on this journey, I can share my learnings and experiences. 📒 Build a Compelling Portfolio: Your portfolio should showcase your thinking and problem-solving abilities. You want to constantly improve your written, visual and oral storytelling abilities but don't forget to demonstrate how you address business challenges, not just user needs. If real-world metrics are unavailable, use predictive metrics to illustrate your business acumen. 🤝 Network Strategically: Don't design in a silo, reach out to industry professionals. Treat networking as a two-way street. Build genuine connections and learn from their experiences. This will accelerate your learning and fill the holes in your knowledge gap. You don't need anything to be perfected. Share early and share often. Bonus if you talk to engineers too! 🖌 Get Creative and Gain Experience: The traditional path to becoming a Product Designer has become more challenging. If you can't afford to do a bootcamp then be proactive and seek out opportunities to gain real-world experience: 1️⃣ Build personal projects: Develop MVPs or side projects to showcase your skills. It goes a long way to get your app on the app store or a application on the web that people can use. No need to wait for employers to give you an opportunity. 2️⃣ Participate in hackathons: Gain valuable experience and network with other aspiring designers and engineers. 3️⃣ Start a freelance agency: Build your portfolio and gain clients. If you can't join them, become them (something like that ha!). 4️⃣ Leverage social media: Build an online presence to showcase your work and connect with the community you desire to be a part of. Final Thoughts: Breaking into Product Design requires dedication and perseverance. I’m still on this journey myself, learning and growing alongside you. Let me know if I missed anything or wrong!

Predictive AI in Healthcare with FHIR Hackathon – Progress Update (1/13) In December of last year, I came across an intriguing Hackathon challenge on #Devpost that captured my attention. Recognizing the opportunity, I reached out to a tech sister I had the privilege of collaborating with on a volunteer project. To my delight, she was equally interested, so we teamed up with a third individual and registered for the Hackathon. During our second meeting, which was primarily focused on planning and ideation, we came up with a detail approach on how to split the task based on individual skills. Below is the; Hackathon Goal Breakdown 1. AI Model Development (Ubaida Abdulai) 🔹 Goal: Predict blood pressure trends and provide personalized recommendations. 🔹 Data Source: Clinical data mapped from FHIR resources: Observation (Blood Pressure readings) Condition (Relevant diagnoses) MedicationRequest (Prescribed medications) 🔹 Expected Output: ✅ Predicted BP trends ✅ Medication adherence recommendations ✅ Lifestyle-based health suggestions 2. API Development with Flask (Rahmat Akintola) 🔹 Endpoints: /predict – Accepts patient data and returns AI-generated predictions. /recommend – Provides personalized care recommendations. 🔹 FHIR Integration: Extract BP data from Observation resource. Return structured FHIR-compatible CarePlan insights. 🔹 Security Measures: 🔒 HTTPS for secure communication 🔒 OAuth 2.0 & JWT tokens for authentication 3. Frontend Development & FHIR Client Integration (Adeola Abdulramon) 🎨 User Interface Development: 🔹Research UI/UX and create wireframes 🔹Develop a basic UI structure with smooth navigation 🔹Enhance UI with Synthea patient data visualizations 🔗 FHIR Client Integration: 🔹Retrieve data from SMART on FHIR servers (Epic/Cerner) 🔹Send patient data to Flask API and display AI-generated insights 🔹Implement SMART on FHIR OAuth 2.0 authentication 4. Registering and Testing the App on MeldRx (All the Team Members) 🚀 App Registration: 🔹Register the app on Meldrx Platform 🔹Provide required details like redirect URI, scopes, and permissions 🛠 Test Workflow: 🔹Simulate authentication using SMART’s demo EHR 🔹Validate FHIR data retrieval and Flask API integration 🔹Ensure the app correctly displays AI-generated predictions & recommendations Today, I completed one of my assigned tasks, reasearch UI/UX, creates wireframes. Used #ExcelDraw to create initial sketches before transitioning to Figma for proper wireframing and design. P.S: If this is your first time seeing my post, I share my journey as a Frontend Engineer and discuss topics related to Frontend Development. I’d love to connect with you! #FrontendDevelopment #Hackathon #UIUX #Figma #ProblemSolving #CreativeThinking

👋Hey everyone, I'm Abidit (software engineer at Programiz). We (Mahesh and I) just shipped a major UX enhancement to our quiz page 🚀 - changing the two-step submission flow to instant feedback! Our initial challenge was that users were getting caught in the "select → submit" loop, often stuck after incorrect attempts. We find this as an opportunity to reimagine the interaction completely. What we built: -> Implemented real-time validation, replacing the traditional submit flow. -> Added a responsive feedback system with smooth animations (that horizontal shake for wrong answers hit differently).  -> Built a state management system that progressively reveals hints and highlights remaining options. -> Added celebration animations (because who doesn't love confetti when they succeed?). 🧠Here's what I learned while doing this project: -> Safari is built differently when it comes to animations. I now realize why our QA team obsesses over cross-browser testing from the start. -> UI flickering and runtime performance are important aspects to consider while building smooth animations. We collaborated with designers, stakeholders, and other engineers, and I have to say when everyone is in sync, it's a game changer. That's why we could ship these changes in just 4 days. You can see the revamped experience below. Also, give it a try [Link in the comment]. #WebDevelopment #WebAnimation #FrontendDev #MeetTheTeam 💡Pro tip for fellow devs: While animations can make your UI feel more polished, they can be tricky to get right! Keep them subtle and performant. A simple fade or slide can delight users without overwhelming them.

Failure Means Try Again Last week, I shared a post about my most challenging project and how I didn’t make it past the third stage. To be honest, it wasn’t my first rejection and definitely wasn’t my last. I’ve faced countless "No’s" throughout my journey, from job applications to project pitches. But here’s the thing: I never stopped trying. For every rejection, I made it a point to reflect: 👉 What could I have done better? 👉 Where did I miss the mark? 👉 What lessons can I take away? I practiced, improved, and showed up again. Over time, those small improvements began to add up. It wasn’t always easy. The self-doubt crept in, and the fear of failing again was real. But I learned that failure isn’t final, it’s feedback. With every attempt, I gained new insights, sharpened my skills, and grew more confident in my abilities. Fast forward a couple of months after that particular rejection—I landed a good-paying role. But the most rewarding part wasn’t just the job; it was the realization that persistence truly pays off. It's a new year and a great opportunity to try again! 🔥 To anyone struggling with rejection right now: 📍 Keep going. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think. 📍 Learn from every "No". It’s not a reflection of your worth, but an opportunity to grow. 📍 Believe in your growth. Every attempt makes you better than the last. 📍 Failure doesn’t mean stop—it means try again. You’ve got this! _______________________________________________________ 👀 Seeing my post for the first time? 🔻Click here Amarachi to connect with me.
