I love to learn. Whether that's how to build a new site, the story of the newest book, how to hit a muscle group most effectively, or any other thing. That's my passion. With a wide-open path in front of me, this is the road I choose to go down. Learning is the single the most important thing any one of us can do. So I encourage you, come join my journey, and start your own!
These are a chronological journey of my skills. At the very top are the projects that first taught me simple HTML structure, while further down are the most recent and complicated ones.
Although basic, this project allowed me to get to know the basics of HTML and CSS styling. This was the fist step in my journey.
After having learned how HTML structuring works, I dived into the world of styling with CSS. Here I learned how to intertwined functional HTML with beautiful CSS.
After having mastered HTML and CSS, it was time to add interactivity into my projects with JavaScript. Here I used JS in order to constantly change the elements of the site and make it dynamic.
For this project, I was simply given a set of mockups as to what the site should look like and implemented it. It took HTML structuring, SCSS design, JS interactivity and interactive graphics, SVG manipulation, and made sure it was all mobile responsive.
During this project, I acquired the skill of interfacing with a third-party API through custom requests to retrieve JSON data. The website's content is dynamically generated upon each page load, showcasing automation in action. Additionally, I expanded my knowledge by implementing a search bar and enhancing the interactivity within each employee's profile.
This project was part of a larger presentation on the atom. One of the easiest ways to learn is through interactivity, which this site excels at.
Following the atom project, Nuclear energy serves as a way to demystify nuclear energy to the average person. It's much more visually pleasing as compared to the previous project and does an amazing job of explaining.
All of the previous projects happened prior to senior year. As a result, I decided to practice my web development skills in a real-life scenario and volunteered at my local church to build a website. Here I created a user-friendly website, collaborating with staff to ensure it met their requirements.
