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.

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.
