No formal education background.

I possess an insatiable thirst for knowledge and strive for perpetual self-improvement. In the absence of formal education, I have devoted myself to acquiring expertise through diverse online resources, tutorials, and practical projects.

My self-directed learning journey has honed my proficiency across various domains, encompassing programming, web development, and creative problem-solving. I firmly believe in the potency of hands-on experience and perpetual advancement.

Following the completion of my JSC exams in 2017, I made a conscious decision to diverge from the conventional educational path. However, my pursuit of knowledge remained unwavering. I firmly maintain that education extends beyond the boundaries of traditional schooling. I have diligently pursued self-guided learning, augmenting my expertise through a myriad of online resources, literature, and immersive project work.

Embarking upon my self-learning journey, I have gained a solid foundation in programming and explored various programming languages and tools, including JavaScript, TypeScript, and PHP for server-side scripting. I have also utilized Git and GitHub for version control practices. Now, I am planning to expand my knowledge by focusing on Next.js and Prisma. Next.js is a powerful React framework known for its server-side rendering capabilities, automatic code splitting, and hot module replacement. By learning Next.js, I aim to build server-side rendered and static websites with improved performance and SEO. Prisma, on the other hand, is an open-source database toolkit that simplifies database access and management in applications. Although Prisma primarily focuses on SQL databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, it also provides support for MongoDB. However, for MongoDB integration specifically, it might be more suitable to explore other tools like Mongoose or the native MongoDB driver for Node.js. Mongoose is an Object Data Modeling (ODM) library designed for MongoDB, offering a convenient way to define schemas, interact with the database, and perform queries. It includes features such as schema validation, middleware hooks, and easy management of relationships.

In my ongoing quest for self-improvement, I am committed to continuously enhancing my programming skills. While I may not currently participate in online coding challenges and hackathons, I actively seek opportunities to broaden my knowledge and problem-solving capabilities. I engage in personal coding projects and dedicate myself to exploring diverse programming concepts to deepen my understanding. Moreover, I recognize the value of collaboration and the power of open-source projects. As such, I eagerly contribute to these initiatives, working alongside fellow developers to create impactful software solutions. By actively participating in the open-source community, I not only gain practical experience but also foster a sense of shared learning and growth. Through my dedication to self-directed learning, personal projects, and collaboration within the open-source realm, I strive to continually elevate my programming skills and contribute meaningfully to the software development landscape.

In the realm of web development, I have acquired expertise in front-end technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have also delved into powerful libraries and frameworks such as React.js for building user interfaces, Redux.js for managing state, and Node.js for server-side JavaScript development. Express.js has been my go-to framework for creating web applications on the Node.js platform. Furthermore, I have worked with document-based databases, specifically MongoDB, and utilized the Mongoose ODM (Object-Document Mapper) for interacting with MongoDB in a more convenient and structured manner. Additionally, I am experienced in working with utility-first approaches like Tailwind CSS and have used SASS as a CSS preprocessor. Integrated development environments like Visual Studio Code have been my preferred tools for development. With this diverse skill set, I am capable of creating dynamic and interactive web applications, crafting responsive and user-friendly interfaces.

As my learning journey progresses, I maintain an unwavering commitment to remain abreast of the latest industry trends and best practices. I recognize the paramount significance of perpetual growth and adaptability within the ever-evolving technology landscape.
