Hello everyone,
I have around 5 years of experience in software development. For the first 4 years, I worked as an Integration Developer, focusing on building and integrating REST and SOAP APIs. The tool I used was similar to MuleSoft but not a very widely adopted one.
Recently, I joined an MNC and transitioned from integration to Full Stack Development. I’ve been working on a few projects using the MERN and MEAN stacks. However, the applications are already live for 2+ years, so the work mainly involves maintenance and support rather than active development.

Hello everyone,
I have around 5 years of experience in software development. For the first 4 years, I worked as an Integration Developer, focusing on building and integrating REST and SOAP APIs. The tool I used was similar to MuleSoft but not a very widely adopted one.
Recently, I joined an MNC and transitioned from integration to Full Stack Development. I’ve been working on a few projects using the MERN and MEAN stacks. However, the applications are already live for 2+ years, so the work mainly involves maintenance and support rather than active development.
I’m interested in upskilling myself in React and Angular (with TypeScript), but due to the limited development work, I feel stuck. I even tried building small personal projects, but I don’t feel like I’m progressing much anymore.
If any of you have been in a similar situation and managed to effectively upskill or switch to more hands-on projects, I’d really appreciate your advice. How did you plan your learning or portfolio to transition smoothly?
Note: I was able to move into Full Stack Development since I already had a strong backend foundation in REST API development, along with basics of Node.js and TypeScript.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or experiences you can share!
