It has been two years since I’ve began working at LATAM Digital division, which is in control of entire latam.com web site, and there’s a lot of fascinating stuff to inform. I’ve been in three initiatives and two groups. I’ve labored on the location model change, the challenge the place the feel and appear had been consolidated like presently is, and now in Host change. My predominant scope has been associated to Frontend and BFF. Though these final months I’ve been taking part in duties associated to IaaS, PaaS, and CaaS.

There are loads of issues that I do prefer to share from this two years. Some good issues and a few others that may be higher. If you happen to learn this and plan to hitch us, I hope that it will function a information to set your expectations within the medium run but in addition it’s essential to say that each expertise is completely different and this arises as private opinion.

The nice facet

I’m going to begin saying what I like most about working right here: the folks. As a result of right here there’s a combine of various cultures and nations which is wonderful. I feel strongly that individuals, their tradition, and their motivation are the important thing to the success of any group. By saying that I don’t imply Expertise and Data aren’t essential. In reality, they’re robust elements, however not sufficient to a long-term technique that’s aligned with the remainder of the groups. For me, folks with an open tradition, good practices, motivated to study and talk, are a very powerful. I used to work in an insurance coverage firm and in a market analysis firm however I haven’t realized as a lot there as I’ve now. I consider that’s due to the rate of modifications and for realizing nice professionals in LATAM. Subsequent, an inventory not exhaustive of applied sciences and practices that I’ve realized or deepened my data:

• Kanban
• NodeJs
• Docker and Orchestrators
• Jenkins
• Devops tradition
• Spine
• React and ecosystem
• TDD/BDD
• Microservices
• Microfrontend
• IaaS, PaaS and CaaS

Enchancment factors

Like at all times nothing is ideal. We have to enhance the communications for higher alignment between groups and areas. There may be nonetheless a lot legacy code that doesn’t match with our structure, scalability, excessive availability and so forth. When it comes to labor advantages, Latam offers air tickets ridiculously low cost, however apply some restrictions and isn’t extensible for all your loved ones. From initiatives viewpoint, I consider that we will change most to Open Supply. I’d like to see the Group use our code of their organizations, delivering feedbacks and sending Pull Requests.

In case you’re working in Latam Digital or pondering to use for a job, I consider that could be a superb possibility for private {and professional} profession improvement. If you happen to want some further info or you’ve a special opinion or one thing so as to add, please depart a remark and we will discuss it.
