I started learning Javascript first with DOM, Promises, Async Await before moving to my own REST Api. I made a currency converter app and a weather app which both fetching information from 3rd party Api's. Then I finished a workout tracker app used to track my biweekly exercise routine. This app uses date as access key to store exercises within local storage.

I moved to React. starting with hooks this time,moving to Context Api,MERN and Redux. I loved React/Redux immediately. Not having to pass values up and down components. I created a messenger app using React, Redux, Express, mongoDB. This app allows users to become friends, and exchange private messages. I used Redux to maintain current state of the page, and it's current authenticated user. MongoDB to store user chat history allowing access to only the two related accounts.

After having an understand of full stack functionality. I created my Developer Portfolio using only Css and icons. I made sure to have a solid understanding of Css before moving to a Css framework. I then went back to then decorate both my messenger and currency converter app. I really enjoyed the process of creating mobile responsive, animated websites using grid/flex, media and the whole side of animation.

This is my current web development portfolio, subject to revision.
