Into Tech Industry
I am a frontend web developer, JavaScript (Node.js) programmer, and Shopify Theme Developer with an engineering background, focused on solving real-world challenges, delivering projects on time, and providing a great customer experience to my clients. I provide my freelance and remote services mainly in the EU and US regions.
Since I started coding at the end of 2020, I've been progressively optimizing my skillset and solving new problems every single day. While I have a technical background in mechatronics engineering with MATLAB, PLCs, and other tools, getting into web development was a bit challenging for me. To overcome this, I discovered building projects as an effective method of learning any new tech for me.
Freelance Journey
In my first year of web development, I created some basic landing pages for friends and built an advanced portfolio showcasing skills that would help me secure future jobs or freelance gigs. I also took the MERN Stack eCommerce course by Traversy Media on Udemy. This course taught me how to build complete applications and deliver projects at a production level. It played a crucial role in landing my first gig on Upwork in November 2021, and fortunately, that client became a long-term collaboration, with their project still featured in my portfolio.
Continuing on Upwork, I connected with amazing people, consistently received 5-star reviews, and eventually earned a top-rated badge. My frontend skills continued to improve as I faced new challenges, and I specialized in React.
Additionally, I've been working on Shopify theme development using Shopify Liquid, focusing on enhancing the user experience of websites by collaborating with cross-functional teams.
Year of Growth - 2023
In early 2023, I had a month of downtime, and during that time, I reconnected and collaborated with one of my old clients. He turned out to be my mentor, a senior developer. Over six months of collaboration, he boosted my collaborative skills to a level I couldn't reach alone. Together, we worked on the Vue and Laravel ecosystem. He gave me the freedom to experiment with new things on the UI, and we successfully launched a couple of platform websites in that collaboration.
With my keen attention to detail, I've maintained long-term working relationships with almost every client, including startups and businesses throughout the years. My ultimate goal has always been to provide a great customer experience. As I gain more experience, I am becoming more and more confident in my skill set.
