About me
My name is Bobby Luly and I am a full time student at Turing School of Software and Design with an unparalleled attention to detail.
I've spent the last 12 years working in the trades, and becoming a jack of them all. Through my years I decided to focus my efforts on painting and carpentry, and after 30,000 hours of experience, I became a master of each. As I leave the trades for the tech world, I leave behind me a long line of satisfied clients who have reaped the benefits of my meticulous nature. One of the most valuable qualities I bring with me from that world is my project management skills.
I have an ability to take the broad scope of a project and break it down and delegate for maximum efficiency, while maintaining meticulously high standards. I have noticed this skill transfers well to my coding education at Turing School of Software and Design. My journey to becoming a Back End developer specializing in Ruby on Rails, is one of the most fascinating and rewarding undertakings of my life.

Inner Worlds

Tools Used
Inner Worlds is an application to help a user keep a detailed dream journal, and provide data about their dreams. This was a group project between myself, 4 other back end developers, and 3 front end developers. Our back end, Ruby on Rails application, serves as a GraphQL API for the front and application. It also consumes the Trinword Natural Language Processing API in order to auto generate tags for a user's dream based upon it's description.
This project was our first foray into collaborating with a front end development team. We utilized a new technology for all of us in order to communicate between our applications, GraphQL. We also used Redis and Sidekiq as background workers to send out a weekly email to each user, containing their dream statistics for the week.
My focus for this project was gaining a firm understanding of GraphQL, which I was able to achieve. I was also focused on the stretch goal of creating a weekly email background worker using Redis and Sidekiq. I was able to accomplish this in development, but had issues putting it into production with our Deployment to the free hosting service Render.
