Hi, my name is

About Me
Hi! My name is Jonathan, and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development began after completing the Harvard CS50: Introduction to Computer Science course. After that, I was hooked on all things programming. Eventually, I discovered The Odin Project and began my journey into web development.
What followed was a year of intense self-learning, where I taught myself the fundamentals of web development and design. I initially started by building websites and applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Following that, I then learned React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS and TypeScript, which took my skills to the next level.
I'm currently looking for a full-time position as a Front-end Developer, where I can continue to grow and improve my skills.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Tailwind CSS
- Prisma
- Redux
