Quality is our driving force, making us a company of distinction!
At itenium, we aim to always move forward and one way we do it is by empowering our consultants with the necessary skills to always exceed our client's expectations As part of this empowerment journey, we recently wrapped up our dynamic session on REST, JWT, Postman, and Dev tools. The team continuously embarks on our journey to growth, constant improvement and superiority in quality.

We believe that quality is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing commitment. This is why we invest time and effort in making sure that our consultants' skills are always in top shape. With guidance and constant development, there is so much potential that can be unlocked. This was proven last week when we had our tech event covering our very own RegEx Tutorial. We explored a world of possibilities where we conquered the art of pattern matching and text manipulation through practical examples and exercises. Our team's coding prowess soars some more!

We leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of quality. We ensure that every product and service reflects our unwavering dedication to delivering the best. Understanding the vulnerabilities of the business and our strengths are the ways that help us in tackling any roadblocks that stand in our way. It's always crucial to be aware and prepared. This was demonstrated during our Security Bootcamp where we explored the world of hacking and learned to defend against them. We recently revisited the hacks that were presented and it was mind-expanding how these sometimes simple exploits lead to a bigger problem. The team's Security Awareness reaches another level!"

Last week we combined our Architecture and Frontend Tracks with a first hands-on session "Jest". Writing tests in a real-world application with Express and MongoDb. This was the first of a 3 parter.
Testing React components with Jest is next!

Our drive for quality allows us to shoot for success. Add a little thinking outside of the box to the mix and it comes as no surprise that itenium is always at the top of its game.
Speaking of shooting, outside of the box and game, we recently ventured as a team into the depths of virtual reality gaming.
Needless to say, our team took this challenge to the next level.

In React Component Profiling, we improved the frontend performance of an internal itenium application (10s -> 120ms) by tackling some nasty dependencies (the npm package for calculating a holiday loaded 10MB JS, our AuthService that accessed localStorage repeatedly, ...) after which we did further analysis using the Profiler Chrome Extension &

The importance of UnitTesting cannot be overstated. We're all on our way to become senior developers and architects. One of the responsibilities as the architect in the team is incorporating UnitTesting in the development process. This includes being able to explain what UnitTesting is to juniors, as well as communicating best practices, configuring the CI, convincing management of the added value and more.

The microkernel architecture revolutionized software design by stripping down the core and letting most services run separately. This clever approach made systems more stable and flexible, making updates a breeze and reducing the chances of a meltdown. Think of it as the minimalist superhero of software architecture—lean, adaptable, and always ready for action!
