I am a queer, self-taught junior web developer

Skills

Starting with the fundamentals

HTML

As the basis of everything, I've made sure I have a solid understanding of HTML.

CSS

CSS is what makes websites beautiful, so it has been essential to learn. I've worked with both plain CSS, as well as the Bootstrap framework.

Javascript

I have dedicated time to make sure I know vanilla javascript reasonably well, before moving to modern frameworks. I've also spent some time with jQuery, though I no longer use it.

Learning the backend

Express

I can build a basic backend using express on the Node.js platform.

Git

I use Git for my source-control. It is also essential for deploying to platforms like Heroku.

MongoDB

Though not my biggest strength, learning a database system is an important skill, and one I have spent time on. It is an area I wish to expand on as I grow.

Building with modern frameworks

React

My framework of choice, as well as an industry standard, I have spent the last few months months getting comfortable with React. I find it both intuitive and well thought-out, and it is a skillset I wish to truly master.

Next.js

The framework that made this site! Next.js builds on top of React to create a complete design framework. It takes care of all the backend and under-the-hood bits, making it ideal for frontend developers.

GSAP

A modern animation framework that works well with React, GSAP is my current choice for making beautiful and easy animations.
