María del Carmen Santiago Betancourt
Hi! I am a
full-stack web developer based in Madrid, Spain.
I consider myself a proactive person that
loves to solve problems and
learn everyday.
"To teach is to learn twice", which is why I've been
dedicating part of my free time to writing articles and tutorials
for the DEV community.
Stay on this page to view some of my projects, or you can just take
a look at my CV.
Here is a sneak peak at some of my Github projects.
Not only do I include a description and elaborate on the technologies used, but you can access a live demo and the source code for each project.
Weather App
The original project started with a webpage that used two APIs to obtain information about the weather. As I advanced, I decided to expand the project by adding other functionalities like changing the image logo to an image that reflects the current weather conditions, a dark-mode button and designing with tailwindCSS.
Technologies used: NodeJS, HandleBars, TailwindCSS, Heroku, and the WeatherStack and MapBox APIs.
Battle Spaceships
For this project I worked in a two-member team. This space invaders-like game won us a 24hr Hackathon Game Challenge.
Technologies used: Phaser3 and CSS.
EarnEat Dashboard
Fully responsive employee dashboard made for ApetEat. I worked with a team of three where everyone shared both front-end and back-end tasks, but I was in charge of ensuring that everything went well on the front-end.
Technologies used: MySQL, NodeJS, ReactJS, SemanticUI, ExpressJS, PassportJS, among others.
Random Quote Generator
This page shows quotes from The Simpsons (with their own image) at random. The information is obtained from an API by clicking on a button.
Technologies used: Axios, ReactJS, CSS and thesimpsonsquoteapi.glitch.me/ API.

Recommendations
This is what my teammates and mentors have said about me on LinkedIn.
Mari Carmen has been a star student at Wild Code School, she
enjoys creating beautiful interfaces with React, JavaScript,
HTML and CSS and is not shy to work on back-end APIs with
Node.js and MySQL, she's keen on learning new technologies that
she is not already familiar with. Always calm and relaxed, with
a smile on her face.
I was impressed with her
pro-active approach and enjoyed seeing her develop her potential
with us. I can't wait to see what amazing things she will make
once she is in the workplace.

Compartimos equipo en el último proyecto del Bootcamp, y ha sido una magnífica compañera. Es absolutamente resolutiva y no se rinde hasta que encuentra la solución a los problemas. Gran capacidad de concentración y aprendizaje, y muy cuidadosa en su relación con el cliente. Lista, muy buena con Javascript y React.

María del Carmen siempre nos ha tendido su mano para solucionar cualquier pequeño inconveniente que hayamos tenido en el código. Es resolutiva y atenta a las explicaciones, asimilando muy bien los conceptos. Trabajé con ella en un hackaton y hace que el trabajo en equipo sea aún más sencillo y con una muy buena comunicación. La recomiendo por completo.
