For this blog post, we want to focus on our culture, team, values, and how we coordinate the work within our engineering department. To achieve this objective, we combined the viewpoints of three developers: a Backend, a Frontend, and a QA.
Welcome to the first installment of Fidel API's engineering series. This week, our Senior Backend Engineer, Andre, guides us through setting up SQS dead-letter queues, a critical element of building serverless or event-driven architecture.
I wanted to combine two of the things I love: playing around with different programming languages and brewing my own coffee with different beans from all around the world.
In the past years, I’ve moved to Backend Engineering, where I try to take advantage of my past experience, focusing more on our user experience. And when our users are developers, it translates into providing a better experience for using the Fidel API.

I’m Jordan, and I’m a Front-End Developer here at Fidel. Like many people in my generation, I was introduced to computers at a young age because of video games. I took my love of gaming to the next level by coding ‘mods’ for those games, which is what got me into programming.
I am always curious, trying to learn new things and meeting new people, which luckily, has been my day to day life here in Fidel, where I am super happy! It’s incredible to be part of a team with people from whom I can learn a lot!
To be fair, since this is my first software development job, every day is a challenge, and I assure you that every day I learn something new, which is great and makes my job extremely rewarding and interesting.
