Silvia García Cacho
Fullstack developer
In London, United Kingdom
General information
Introduction
I entered the programming world out of curiosity as a self-taught. Ended up loving it so much I needed to go to the next level and applied for a front-end developer program. Nowadays, I am a full stack developer focused on learning as much as I can while sharing my knowledge with other colleagues. Giving back to the community is a very important part of my life, so you'll find me organising events, mentoring or participating in non-profit programs.
My best practices
I try to encourage a pair programming mindset in the teams I work in. I have found this is the best way to onboard new joiners and to increase the global knowledge of the whole team, avoiding silos. I keep learning about different best practice methods (TDD, DDD, SCRUM, KANBAN, SOLID, KISS,...), applying some of them to my everyday work, but, overall, my experience has showed me that every company, every project and every team is different and not everything can be applied everywhere.
