About

When I coded my first “Hello World” using Notepad on Windows 98, it felt like the most significant and eye-opening activity in the world. However, aside from a number of gif-enriched personal pages and blogs, that period did not have any substantial outcomes.

I renewed my study of code in 2021, and based on previous experiences, made web development my focus. I am now a great fan of flexbox-based layouts and JavaScript. I still have a certain affinity for retro-style design, but I refrain from using neon text effects.
Most of the time.

I am making efforts to focus more on the backend side of coding, because it seems more "serious", but whenever I see a well-designed website, I will spend hours checking what makes it work. It seems that every little topic I learn deserves its own stand-alone project. Not all ideas can be turned into reality, but below are the ones that made it.

Favourite projects

Some special projects deserved a whole page to themselves.

Star Squid Blog

react · scss · graphQL · contentful api

Going back to basics with a personal blog and into the future with modern web solutions.

Flipping Flashcards

javascript · html · css

The study aid the world may not need. It serves flashcards from different fields of study and remembers how well you remember.

Workday Clock

javascript · html · css

All the benefits of an analog clock without the awkwardness of roundness.

Small projects

One-concept, quick projects — that I still think are cool enough to share.

Employee Directory

react · css

Built in 2 weeks, this React project was made to a friend's specifications in order to address a problem in his workplace. The program converts .csv employee data into nicely-formatted cards and offers a variety of filters for the results.
