About me
With a BA honours in Contemporary Media Practice from the University of Westminster and 7 years working as a filmmaker and videographer, I wanted a career change.
Having recently completed the Full Stack Developer Traineeship from IT Career Switch, I look forward to starting my career in tech to further develop my coding skills and understanding of the many technologies involved in creating full-stack applications. I hope to join a great team to support and learn from.
As a geek at heart, I’m eager to keep learning and highly motivated by making things work. Teams are where I thrive most as sharing expertise and the effort towards a broader common goal has always been the most exciting experience.

My full stack projects
Interactive World Gazetteer
Project information
- Category: Web App
- Client: IT Career Switch
- Project date: October, 2024
- Project URL: /walterVincenti/project1
Project Description
This project makes extensive use of third-party APIs that can be queried to fetch data about geographical locations and countries. The app offers a general overview of a selected country and displays the location of key features (capital, the main city of each country region, airports and ports).
Countries can be selected either by clicking directly on the map or using the provided dropdown menu. The app also, provides an exchange calculator for any local currency toward any world currency of choice, an overview of local news and a weather report for the capital city.
The map interface is built with Leaflet.js, a brilliant open source javascript library that lets developers easily create tile-based maps which hold geolocation data for any given point. This feature allows a straightforward method to overlay relevant data both in the form of simple markers and vector graphics.
The app also uses the leaflet plugin 'marker-cluster', which enables grouping nearby markers.
Company Directory
Project information
- Category: CRUD App
- Client: IT Career Switch
- Project date: November, 2024
- Project URL: /walterVincenti/project2
Project Description
This project is a fully functional multi-user content management system. It allows users to remotely read, add, update and delete data from a live MariaDB database server. The app presents a sample company directory with employees grouped into departments and dislocated at different locations.
The relational database ensures that changes to the state of the personnel are dynamically tracked. The front end reinforces data integrity by throwing a warning whenever the user tries to perform a forbidden action. The app also offers a 'search all data' filter based on user type input and the ability to filter personnel by department or location.
The front end is built with jQuery and Bootstrap while the back-end is managed with PHP. Lastly, the Company Directory implements a simple loader to alert the user whenever data is being fetched.
