Multi-platform App for Generating Invoices

Invoice Generator App

I am a full stack developer with a passion for building fully functional and usable sites. I also have the capability to use existing systems and/or frameworks to create a new product. I strongly believe in integrating already existing frameworks is the way to go! some may disagree. 

I have an adequate understanding of programming techniques and problem solving skills. 

Because of my passion I have gained interest in a few frameworks which include .NET, Angular, Laravel, Vue, React, Next, Nuxt and many more.


I may consider blogging my solutions to difficult problems I've solved when working on projects soon.

I also do podcasting on my free time, be sure to check it out at <https://podcast.michaelshobowale.com>

This is a short page about me and my work

About Me

(G)It is actually a free and open source version control system that is designed for for tracking changes in any set of files. It is usually used for coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development.

The Git feature that really makes it stand apart from nearly every other SCM out there is its branching model.One of the major features is branching and merging. Now git can be used locally on your PC or cloud based, which brings us to GitHub

GitHub is just a provider of internet hosting for software development and version control using Git. It has many other functionalities like issue tracking, pull requests, continuous integration, documentation and so on. Some of its alternatives are BitBucket, GitLab, SourceForge.

TLDR: Git is for tracking file changes, GitHub is a cloud storage service that uses git for version controlIf you didn’t know the difference before, now you do 😃.
I hope this helped someone

Git vs GitHub

Do you know when you decide to refactor your code the next sprint?
Or when you cut corners just to get that feature out in time?
(We are all guilty of this 😞 )

Well those issues compile and become what is called in software engineering as technical debt

In the short term, they are advantageous, but in the long term, they could be disastrous. (Very)

A software engineer should know when it’s time to pay the debt (technical) 😉

What is technical debt?

"Why do most developers fear to make continuous changes to their code? They are afraid they'll break it! Why are they afraid they'li break it? Because they don't have tests.” - Robert C. Martin

Oh Uncle Bob is right again! 💯

I recently had to go back to code that I wrote about two years ago, and I’m finding it really difficult to make changes to the code 😢. Obviously then, the idea of writing tests was non existent.
Now I know personally that tests are very important
(Except you don’t plan on making any change at all to the code).

If you’ve never written a test for your code before, please go learn how to, you’d thank yourself two years from now 😂.


*Thanks for Reading!*


Tests are really IMPORTANT!

"Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in a way that does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure. It is a disciplined way to clean up code that minimizes the chances of introducing bugs”

That’s not my definition, but an Excerpt from
“Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code -
Martin Fowler” ( Great book 💯)

For instance, refactoring is not done to introduce a new feature or to fix a bug, but the aim is to improve the structure of the code and not change its behaviour. With that in mind, refactoring has become much easier.

Software Engineering is truly a never ending learning process. 😃😃

What is Refactoring

This is not really a blog post that talks about why font matters. but just know that they do..

I may consider blogging in the future where I will write more helpful posts. I'm just leaving this page to serve as a template for when writing other blog posts, just like we leave out commented out code for future reference

But here's a helpful meme that shows you why fonts matter

I had this domain sitting for so long and decided to finally make it a portfolio site.
I'm a full stack web developer and this site will show some of my work


Hi, I'm Michael Shobowale

Here's some of my most recent work

Recent Work

Latest from the Blog

Here's what people I have worked with have had to say

Working with Michael Shobowale is easily the most professional experience I’ve had with a developer. In two conversations he understood exactly what I needed my website to look like, his execution speed was really fast and best part is that his ideas helped make my website look even better than I planned.

My honest opinion, Michael is an intelligent, diplomatic and creative person. He’s quick to understand what you want even when you have only talked half way into your problems, he seems to know the solution from the beginning of your first sentence. He’s smart, and open to advice, corrections and improvement. I love working with Michael, He makes working with him easy. His communication skills are excellent. He’s a brilliant lad 😁😁

Michael has been such a great help to our team. He really played a crucial role in getting some of our big projects across the finish line by tackling some tough tasks and fixing bugs. One of the things we really love about him is how he's always ready to share what he knows about tech with the rest of us.
