I'm a very good lighting designer. And I even have a PhD degree in a related science (photometry). But I've reached the top in my profession and there is nothing more to learn for me in this field. Therefore I want to switch to IT and consider front-end as the most suitable direction for my mindset.
Except several learning projects I've done during learning courses I have my own small project which was born when I faced with a very practical problem.
On my last full-time work position as a lighting designer in a Smart City project I was responsible for creation of datasheets for each product option with very specific characteristics. All possible options of the product counted over 3000 at that moment. Creating a datasheet for each of them in MS Word and then save in PDF was obviously inefficient and time-consuming.
So first of all I created an Excel spreadsheet with all those possible versions and their characteristics and then designed an html-page with a nice looking layout where all the required data can be shown for a specific product code and then can be printed as PDF in browser. To create this tool I used JavaScript, CSS and HTML.
In general it is a filter which looks for exact match of a key (product SKU) in a Map object that was created from the excel spreadsheet and then shows related values in the right place of the datasheet html page.
This tool is currently used by two sales managers from my department for quick creation of a datasheet for any requested product.
It was quite exciting experience and I'd like to continue developing my knowledge in this direction - small yet efficient applications.
