EXPERIENCE NOTE

This was my first significant pet project, built with invaluable mentorship from Arman Buludyan. His role was crucial in guiding me through the setup of Redux, organizing the state, and keeping me motivated through the more challenging parts of the project. His support encouraged me to persevere, especially when facing tough problems.

Through this project, I learned the power of managing state in React using Redux, as well as how to structure a scalable codebase with TypeScript. Working on this project also reinforced the importance of breaking down complex problems and iterating towards a solution. In addition, I grasped the basics of Google CLI and working with its Translate API. It’s been an invaluable experience.

For now, the project is a bit abandoned, as I’m swamped with other work and many other ideas. I love Armenian language, and there’s a good chance I might return to it to it once I have time to learn.
