ABOUT MESTORY OF ME
Ever since I was just a little boy, I've been working with computers. I started with just playing games, then, a few years later I did my first RAM upgrade. This eventually evolved into me building my own computer and getting more and more familiar with the tech world. At the age of 16 I started getting interested in the software side of tech so I decided to continue in that direction. Now, 7 years later I am able to call myself a very capable developer with experience in multiple major fields.

WEB DESIGN
Webdesign was the main field my studies focussed on. Aside from the regular HTML, CSS and Javascript I am also familiar with frameworks such as React.
Other web related technologies I've worked with that are worth mentioning are: PHP, MySQL, Firebase, WebRTC, WebGL, Three.js, ...
GRAPHIC DESIGN
While most web development studies focus on ether the development part or the design part, mine focused on both.
I've learn how and what to research to be able to create fitting designs for private businesses, large corporations, events, apps and more.
Research
Another major field we learned during my studies was researching. We learned where and how to gather useful data so that we may choose the best design options or development technologies.
JAVASCRIPT
Javascript is a very important part in web development. Aside from using it to create websites and apps, I also frequently use it to create scripts which automate tasks I often have to repeat.
UI / UX
The UX and UI of any design will heavily influence the users first impression. For this reason I dare not to be ignorant of how something could be seen by others during the design process.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Clients want their site to feel more personal. One of the ways to add personality is to add pictures that are relevant to the client and their businesses. Therefore it is important to be able to take good quality pictures which fit in with the rest of the design.
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
When designing I always have the goal to let my client's site or app stand out from the regular sites. Using the researching techniques I've learned together with different technologies I am able to create unique and functional designs.
MORE ABOUT ME
Whenever I say I am interested in languages to other people, most assume I just mean programming languages. When I say I am interested in languages I also mean the different languages from around the world. For this reason I also try to learn a little of other languages. It might seem useless to others but to me, learning a different language also gives an insight on how words would be placed on a design if it was for example to be translated to Chinese.
