Hello ABC

Studying graphic design in college made me grow curious about web development. One of our subjects involved making layouts for fictional companies with Adobe DreamWeaver and jQuery 2.2. I noticed webdesign and webservices had (and have) lots of potential so I made a switch to IT.

As a step-up into the world of IT I started with an associate degree in network engineering with which I could start at the coding bootcamp BeCode. Here I learned the very basics of web development and met a lot of inspiring people.

Before starting as a developer I already had some experience as a network engineer. I liked coding better as it consists of dealing various challenges involving critical thinking & problem solving. Since starting out I managed to learn quite a lot. Using these new skills I made my portfolio website and this motivation letter with GatsbyJS.

On the side I like to work out some ideas for local businesses (fictional and existing) when they lack a webpage or service. This way I built a GatsbyJS site for a local record store in Genk.

Even after finishing the BeCode coding bootcamp I am motivated to code and learn every day. Udemy, Code with Mosh and Fireship.io are my go-to platforms if I want to learn new subjects or if I am stuck on some problem.
