My skills

Python & SQLite

I've done an extensive online course on Coursera that introduced the fundamental programming concepts including data structures, networked application program interfaces, and databased, using the Python programming language and a bit of SQLite.

HTML, CSS & Javascript

This is the holy trinity I worked the most with. I've done several online courses on them, received two certificates and built most of my projects with them.

Wordpress & Testing

Currently I'm making a Wordpress.org portfolio website for a digital artist that displays all of her work and I'm testing websites on bugs, usability and UX.

Who I am

Designer & developer based out of Zürich

Hi, welcome to my page :) Although I originally trained as a philosopher, I’m now a self-taught front-end web developer. You might say I’m a front-end-philosopher! I’ve tried to use the self-discipline and logical thinking that studying philosophy taught me to learn how to code.

I started out practising small coding ‘challenges’ in Python, before moving on to an online course, where I also learned some SQLite. When I explored all the different types of software development jobs I found I lean most toward front-end web development. I believe this fits the best with my personality: creative and results-driven. From then on I focussed on learning HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap and responsive web design. While this gave me a good overview of software development, I’m certainly still eager to learn more.
