About me

Welcome to CodingWithAlex, your go-to blog for software development insights! I’m Alex Silva, a self-taught software architect and backend engineer with extensive experience in Python, Django, and web technologies.

My passion for coding started early, where I spent countless hours tinkering with code, driven by curiosity and the desire to build something from scratch. Over the years, through self-study and hands-on practice, I transformed this hobby into a fulfilling career. Despite not having a formal college degree, I worked my way up from my first job as a backend engineer at a startup to becoming a software architect, specializing in Python/Django-based applications and Agile development practices.

In my journey, I've tackled innovative and challenging projects, managing development teams and mentoring junior developers. With a focus on building scalable, robust web applications, I’ve contributed to projects that have positively impacted people’s lives, always aiming to deliver high-quality solutions.

At CodingWithAlex, I share daily achievements, technical tips, and real-world challenges from my software development career. Whether you’re a self-taught developer or just starting in the tech world, my goal is to inspire and guide you through practical advice, lessons learned, and coding tutorials. Join me as we explore the world of software development together, one line of code at a time!

If you're passionate about backend development, Python/Django frameworks, or want to improve your skills in Agile methodologies and team management, this blog is for you.
