From helpdesk to junior web role
Arthit spent evenings in Full-Stack Web Foundations while covering night shifts. He treated the portfolio project as a second job: a booking page for his sister’s salon, complete with form validation and a tiny Node endpoint.
What helped most was the mid-course mentor note that his CSS was tidy but his README hid the deployment steps. He rewrote the docs, interviewed at a Bangkok agency, and now maintains client microsites. Limitation he names: the cohort’s API week assumed more HTTP comfort than he had — he booked two Studio Mentorship sessions afterward.
