Always have fun.

It's purpose of life!

I

Front-End Developer

It's Me

I live in Poland, Bialystok. I graduated "Social Work" on the University of Bialystok sincerely wanting to help others.

I endeavour to a comprehensive progress - spirit, body and mind. Every day I want to learn something new, to improve my skills, to be better and more aware man.

How did I start programming?

On 17.01.2017, came back home from the university disappointed with the level of higher education, I decided I would begin to study on my own. I turned on online tutorial and I've coded up to now with the help of Internet knowledge and practice. It was very difficult and it cost me many crisis moments. But I didn't give up and didn't regret my decision. Programming, by learning and increasing my skills, has become my plan for future life. It's fascinating how vast amount of knowledge I have learned and what I can learn during my journey.

Me as Front-End Developer

• I constantly progress, improve my skills and acquire new knowledge. Not always in this sequence, I have some breaks, but in the end I move forward all time.
• I try to do my job as best as I can. I put my whole self into I do.
• I try to provide the highest quality service. I could not take the money for something worthless in my eyes.
• I do not always understand everything, but I persistently ask - about the correctness of certain solutions and the possibility of doing something better. I'm looking for people who know more than me, and I seek advice from them.

My plan for the future

My goal is to get my first job as a programmer so that I can devote my full attention and develop my skills on a full-time basis. I'm currently involved in an informal project as a Front-End Developer, and learning React.js and improve my skills in pure Javascript(ES6 + Typescript). I am interested and open to various technologies and I am sure that someday I will delve them.

What programming has taught me?

With a clear conscience I can write - much. I will only mention the three most important skills:

1. Tenacity. Programming is not an easy route. It requires enormous work, during which many encounters - walls, barriers not to pass. In addition, there are various types of errors that you do not know how to solve. As a fighter one thing I am sure - I will never give up in progressing and resolving the difficulties encountered in my way. I will learn and trying until I understand. I have everything I need only time.
2. Progress. It is a programming synonym for me. Learning new things and improve what you have worked out. Writing better code, gaining new skills. Now it is a pleasure for me. One of the key reasons that I would like to continue my education there are unlimited layers of knowledge that await me and is at your fingertips. I am hungry for new knowledge, ready to learn and further self-education.
3. Involved. I learn or code almost every free moment. Sometimes from morning to night, with minor breaks. I put all my heart and time into it. I am ready for hard work and extremely determined to be better and better.

I as a person

• I appreciate the close and fruitful interpersonal relationships - the result is a desire to create a social application that will connect people.
• I'm a hundred percent nonconformist. It does not recognize artificial conventions and obligations. I always act in harmony with myself and my convictions.
• I do not follow straight paths.
• I have interests and passions from different fields. Since 2012 I play Magic: the Gathering. I like to play board games and I am at the stage of creating my board game in world of Vikings. Since 2010 he has been training regularly, which resulted in a loss of 30kg in 9 months. At the gym, I'm currently my own trainer. Consequently, I keep a healthy diet today and this issue is very important to me. After reaching adulthood I became interested in politics (and by economics) before my first election to make an informed decision. It's just a small part of my life experiences and interests. I like all sorts of trivia, physics, chemistry, law ... I'm a lover of knowledge, new activities, healthy lifestyle and mental self-development.
• When I set a goal, I achieve it. My life is a struggle for better self and myself. In my life I have changed not only my appearance but also my personality. From someone who has been afraid of others, actions and changes, I am now becoming someone open to new experiences and people. Despite further difficulties and uncertainty, I am fighting problems.

Skills

JS

I'm learning intensively, this is one of my most important goals in self-education. I mainly do this by solving practical tasks on Codewars and my own projects. I try to keep up to date with the news so I use in my code eg. const,arrow functions, ternary operator, classes, rest parameters,function programming (map, filter, reduce ...), template strings.

I can not imagine life without flexbox, vw, vh, em and percentages. I always have the pleasure of creating dynamic pages with transition, animation, hover, opacity and scale. In every project I try to test new cool effects. My experience with CSS realize me how it's deep, powerful and how much i can discover.

CSS3 & RWD

HTML5

I always try to write semanthic code (use tags in valid way,validator, lints and use newest standard (HTML5, section, article, nav etc). I also try to separate the page visual effects (CSS) from its content (HTML).

I understand overall concept and learned the basics in practice when creating training web pages. Refreshing knowledge will take me about not much time. After all, I'm prefer creating the pages from scratch and in this direction I'm trying to grow.

Materialize & Bootstrap

SCSS/Sass

Partials, placeholders, nesting (etc.) really helps in writing code, making it reusable, avoiding DRY(Dont Repeat Yourself) and is really nice combined with BEM. Now i don't imagine coding without SCSS.

Currently i write all my code in ES6 (still learn new things).

ES6

Ajax & JSON

I have learned the basics that I can apply in practice. I used JSON several times in projects and used Ajax in my own project count as a "tutorial" to display content in HTML using JSON. I am able to quickly refresh my knowladge.

Basic level. I can draw lines in AI, circles etc. and similar effects as well my own paths (weak cartoonist), import svg files into html and animate them. I also drew animated cat - click to watch! :)

SVG

GIT

I understand basic workflow. I try to use git commit before turning off my laptop. With little help i can work with team using git.

I like the simplicity of the configuration and the options it offers. I currently use it mostly in my new projects.

Gulp.js

Typescript

Basics. I've joined Typescript in my projects, which I really appreciate for catching errors and want know deeper.

Using documentation / Youtube tutorial it's no problem for me to comeback to writing in CofeeScript.

CoffeeScript

React

Currently, learning React it's my main target in my self-education.

With little help i can work using Webpack. I practiced it's configuration in one mini-project.

Webpack

BEM & OOCSS

From all methodologies i chosen and test those both. Right now i go into BEM but can use OOCSS in future projects.

I understand how looks Scrum (sprint, stand-ups etc) and ready to work this way.

Scrum

Tic tac toe game written in ES6, Typescript, Gulp & BEM. Written to learn this technologies in practice.

My next adventure with web components. This time, more understanding of how they work, I focused on placing many different effects on the page.

Challenge thrown by a friend. He wanted me to reproduce the page. You can judge how much I managed the challenge here: https://biameditek.pl/

03.2017

My first page for getting familiar with Bootstrap. Understanding how it works and creating it took me about 1-2 days.

02.2017
