The Journey of a Web Developer
Early Passion and Education
From a young age, I was fascinated by computers and technology. I spent countless hours exploring how things worked, often taking apart gadgets just to see their inner workings. This curiosity naturally led me to pursue a degree in Computer Science, where I was introduced to the world of programming and web development.
Work Experience
Internships and Initial Projects:
During my college years, I interned at a small tech startup where I got my first hands-on experience with web development. I worked on building and maintaining websites using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This experience taught me the importance of clean code and user-friendly design.
First Full-Time Job:
After graduation, I landed a job at Xcrino Business Solutions. Here, I honed my skills in front-end and back-end development, working on a variety of projects ranging from small business websites to large-scale web applications. I became proficient in using frameworks like Laravel for backend development and creating dynamic user interfaces.
Current Role:
Currently, I work as a freelance web developer. This role has given me the freedom to choose projects that align with my interests and values. I enjoy the challenge of understanding different clients' needs and translating them into functional and aesthetically pleasing websites.
Values and Approach
Commitment to Quality:
One of my core values is a commitment to quality. I believe that a well-built website can significantly impact a business’s success. Therefore, I strive to write clean, maintainable code and create designs that are both functional and visually appealing.
User-Centric Design:
I am a strong advocate for user-centric design. I always keep the end-user in mind, ensuring that websites are easy to navigate and accessible to everyone. This means staying up-to-date with the latest in UX/UI best practices and accessibility standards.
