About Me

Hey, thanks for taking out the time to check out my portfolio, I'm Alex, a student at UTS who loves designing web-applications from the ground up. My first experience with programming was when I started my Bachelors of computing science at UTS in 2021, which i have very much enjoyed, the aspect of problem solving and the creative freedom to make something that programming offers is what makes programming such an enjoyable experience for me.

While my course is mainly back-end development, I always felt like something was missing and that's when I discovered frontend development, starting off with simple tools like HTML and CSS, I gradually discovered my passion for building web applications and ever since that point I've been on a journey to hopefully one day becoming a senior full stack web developer.

My Journey So Far

Start of Computing Science

February 2021

This date marks the day I started my bachelors of computing science at UTS and subsequently the start of my tech journey

Personal Projects

May 2021

It wasn't until a couple months after I had started coding, that I would begin to make my own personal projects outside of uni, these projects involved simple programs including several mini games and small GUI applications all built using java

Front end Development

July 2021

During my course I had the feeling that something was missing, doing mostly backend development was still enjoyable but it lacked the aspect of creativity, that was when I discovered front end development, I started small using html and css to create mini static websites and one thing after another led to me making front end development as my primary focus.

Front end Advancement's

December 2021

After 5 months of learning css and web dev, I had begun to look into more advanced concepts such as database's and frameworks which led me to React and Firebase my first js framework and database, it also around this time where I took more advanced projects

Project Developments

August 2022

After spending half a year learning how to create solid full stack applications, I determined I was ready to take on proper full stack web applications and also spent more time working towards my grades for my univeristy classes

Data Structures And Algorithms

January 2023

Spending so much time working on my projects made me realize that I also needed to work on my data structures and algorithms department, so I decided to take a small break from my own projects and start working on leetcode questions, this is also the same time I enrolled into my DSA class
