I started to have interest in web development when I was in grade 11 senior high school. I used to watch YouTube tutorials about HTML and CSS back in 2021. Then, I tried to create my first website using only Notepad and Google Chrome. It was a simple one-page website about me. After that, I got more interested in web development and started to learn more about it.
In early 2022, I discovered freeCodeCamp and started to follow their curriculum. I learned about responsive web design, JavaScript, and front-end libraries like vue. Advancing in Laravel for backend development, I built several small projects, including a task manager and a blog platform. These projects helped me understand how to connect the front end with the back end effectively.
During my grade 12 at Golden Minds Colleges, My capstone is choosen to be best capstone of the year in my batch. It was a web-based hrm tools and equipment management system for the school. It was a challenging project, but I learned a lot from it. After all the system adopted by the school and used until now.
Since then, my school see my potential in web development and offered me a job as an IT Assistant. I accepted the offer and started working for the school in May 2022. As an IT Assistant, I am responsible for designing the school's website, assisting senior developers in maintaining the school systems and providing technical support to the staff and students.
And up until now I am still learning and improving my skills in web development. I am currently learning about full-stack development and exploring new technologies expanding in cloud services and devops. My goal is to become a proficient full-stack web developer and contribute to the web development community.
I don’t just code all day!
Beyond my coding skills, I’m not just a keyboard warrior. I’m a huge basketball fan, a swimming enthusiast, an avid hiker, and always planning my next travel adventure. But wait... that’s not all! I’m also an online gaming aficionado. On mobile, you’ll catch me in Wild Rift and Teamfight Tactics (League of Legends), and for PC, I’m all about League of Legends, and Crossfire. So, if you’re up for a game or want to collaborate on a web development project (or both), hit me up! Let’s team up, code, and maybe win some matches along the way!
