As a web developer*, I want to combine my creativity with constant learning process. I really enjoy coming across new sources of knowledge, finding new features and playing with them in my code. Bugs are not a problem, they're a challenge!
My goal is also to find a balance between design, functionality and accessibility. Personally, I prefer original, but simple and fast-loading pages than just a developer's show off, crammed with impressive animations and highly interactive, but totally not adjusted for low-end machines or weak internet connection. Here's a nice article about it (yup, it's a link this time).
Considering a division that forms on the front-end development ground**, I'll probably put myself on the front-of-the-front-end side. I actually enjoy writing CSS (sic!), but I'm not scared of JavaScript and, after getting my JS skills onto a higher level, I'm planning to learn some React and other things that may come handy.
I made this page entirely by myself, from scratch - the SVG's (excluding the social icons), illustrations and buttons were made just for this site, and I had a lot of fun while creating it***. For vector illustrations, I use Inkscape software, which has a great online community.
Skills:
I use: HTML, CSS, SASS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap.
I want to know how to use: React, GSAP, APIs and more!

*** Well, nevermind the drastic modifications in layout, changing background from attached pictures through a nice blue-violet gradient to plain ol' vivid blue, struggles with weird JS behaviour and getting rid of dozens of lines of code.
