Francisco Ponce

I am a full-stack Java software developer with recent experience building multi-tiered web applications. I attended San Diego State University where I obtained a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, along with a minor in leadership development. My career path took a slight turn into the technology field when I enrolled in a Cyber Security Boot Camp through Global Campus SDSU, where I obtained 400 hours of experience with different Cyber Security technologies. This is where I discovered my passion for software development and where my tech journey began. During my time at Revature, I worked on several projects where I gained experience in both backend technologies (including Java, SQL, Spring Framework, and Microservice architecture) as well as frontend development (including HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Angular). I also have experience with DevOps, using CI/CD pipelines, and deploying to AWS Cloud. I really enjoy collaborative environments where I can genuinely learn from others and am working to improve my interpersonal communication skills in order to become a well-rounded software developer
