David Anica's Portfolio

In June of 2025, I fulfilled my dream of landing my first full-stack junior software engineer role!

I am still in this role and I develop the company's internal CRM app, working primarily with Python, Flask, and MySQL.

✍️ Here's my story:

Prior to becoming a full-stack SWE, I worked as a machine operator (2009-2013) for an ammunition manufacturer.
A few years later, I transitioned to a delivery driver role (2013-2025) at the same company.

During the 2020 pandemic, I began self-teaching Python and by the end of that year, I dreamed of breaking into the tech industry.
I eventually pursued an A.S. in CIS/CS and graduated in June 2025.

In my final year of college, I gained experience through various contract roles in IT, cybersecurity, frontend development, and data analytics.
