About Me

I began freelancing by serving to associates with their tasks whereas continually bettering my programming expertise. Again then, I used to be solely aware of conventional, static web sites.
In 2020, my accomplice, Ala, launched me to Awwwards, and I found that web sites might be extremely artistic, with dynamic layouts, wealthy movement, and interactive parts. That second sparked my curiosity and curiosity in artistic web site growth.
I started creating experimental tasks, recreating whole web sites for studying functions, and later began engaged on consumer tasks that featured wealthy movement and interplay. I realized probably the most by engaged on actual tasks, whether or not for purchasers or private experiments.
Philosophy
I draw lots of inspiration from web tradition, particularly memes. They are often humorous, satirical, and infrequently deeply relatable.
“It Ain’t A lot However It’s Trustworthy Work” (from a easy meme farm man) – I all the time wish to preserve these phrases in my portfolio and in my mindset. So long as I’m happy with the work and know that I put actual effort into it, that’s what issues most. Even when a undertaking feels small or insignificant, trustworthy work has its personal worth.
I consider there’s all the time somebody on the market who will admire it; we simply by no means know who that could be.

When exploring the tech stack for tasks and their necessities, I largely use and really feel snug with Nuxt.js for the frontend, SCSS for styling, Prismic for headless CMS, GSAP for movement and interplay, Three.js / OGL for WebGL, Lenis for easy scrolling, and Shopify for e-commerce tasks.

It’s essential to be taught the basics to construct sturdy data, keep centered, keep away from distractions, and create one thing experimental or a ardour undertaking. Publishing it may be a robust transfer.
Thanks to Codrops and Manoela for the chance and highlight – it’s actually an honor! Codrops is likely one of the greatest assets for artistic designers and builders, and I’ve realized a lot from the positioning.
