About Me
About me
I am a passionate (junior) Front-end Developer. I have been building simple HTML/CSS website since the age of 13 and later on started using tools like Nicepage to create Wordpress templates, but never build websites at a professional level.
After 12 years working at a servicedesk, from which 4 years as a manager, I felt the job that I was doing was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and decided to start hunting my dreams and learn to actually become a Front-end Developer.
I followed the Front-end Development Course at Winc Academy to gain the missing knowledge and successfully completed the course April 24th 2023. During the course I have learned a lot of needed (basic) knowledge of HTML/CSS, JavaScript (including ES6), ReactJS and leaned how to work with external (UI) libraries.
I didn't stop learning after competing the course and started learning TypeScript and playing around with other frameworks like VueJS. Sometimes I need to hold myself back to not look in to many things at the same time, so it's good thing I'm a quick learner.
Projects
Recipe Checker - Winc Academy - React Basics Project
This was the final project for the React Basics module during my course at Winc Academy. It's a simple React app where you can check and search recipes and check for allergies and diets.
I also added the non-mandatory, but suggested, filter for Pescatarian, Vegetarian and Vegan recipes.
Event dashboard - Winc Academy - Final Project
This was the final project for the Winc Academy Front-end Development course. I created two versions of this ReactJS app. This first version uses JSON server, this was mandatory for the course. I also created a version that uses Google Firebase (Firestore, AppCheck and hosting).
The event dashboard has a simple homepage showing a featured event, which is a random event from the database, and is not the next event on the calendar. The next event on the calendar has his on place on the homepage. Than there is an paginated Events page that shows the available events and had a search and filter option. Each event has it's own page where the event can be edited or deleted. There is no real authentication, but there is a simulated login/registration procedure and user profiles.
The app was build in ReactJS and uses the libraries React Router DOM, Primereact, Primeflex, Formik and Yup. The application
Check out the Live Preview of the Firebase version.
Both versions are in the same repo, but im different branches.
