I love to learn about new stuff.
Frontend frameworks like React are great to build fast and dynamic websites. This website was built with Next.js for example. Of course I do know plain JavaScript as well, but I've grown extremely fond of TypeScript over the years and wouldn't want to miss it.
Plain HTML and CSS alone can build a beautiful website. I like to begin with a mobile first approach and add more complexity for bigger screen sizes to ensure a perfectly responsive experience. I do think there is a time and a place for libraries like Bootstrap, they can be very useful. This site is built with plain CSS, though.
I am a frontend developer but I did collect some knowledge about the backend development. I have worked with various APIs and built both SQL and MongoDB databases. I also have some experience with Flask and the Django REST Framework.
It should be as easy as possible for anyone to browse the web. Accessibility is something to always keep in mind when structuring a website. Well-structured, semantic HTML will improve that experience and ARIA labels can further enhance it. And in the end it might even boost the SEO performance of a page.
And here's the stuff I've learned.
Hi.
I'm Julian.
For quite some time I used to be an editor. In my previous job I spent my days writing various texts into boxes. Then I decided to start writing the stuff around the box. I discovered my passion for code in the end of 2020, after losing my job as an editor during the pandemic. While I always had fun styling my personal WordPress blogs I really got the hang of it when I finally sat down to actually learn.
Now I am a Web Developer who started out learning Python and got stuck with HTML, CSS and Javascript along the way. I have been working full time as a Frontend Developer since May 2022, mainly working with React and Typescript.
Apart from my coding journey I am a music enthusiast, a passionate hobby cook and I love pop culture, books, dogs, pigeons and memes.
Who are you?
