Hi, my name is Nick

MERN Stack developer wielding  the force of code

Introduction

1996

As a Fullstack Web Developer with a mastery of JavaScript, Typescript, ReactJS, and more, I navigate the galaxy of web development with the skill of a seasoned Jedi. Whether you're looking for frontend finesse or backend brilliance, I bring balance to the force of fullstack development.

I first used a computer at age five, and since then I can't imagine my life without it. I was always curious about everything around electronics, even taking different things apart and putting them back together. I've faced both successes and failures, but I've always found a way to work through and resolve issues. At eight, I accidentally deleted the Nvidia drivers on my computer and panicked. However, after a day of searching on Yahoo, I managed to fix it. Friends often come to me for help with their computers and gaming consoles. Even despite the fact that I've never academically learned about programming and technical repairs, I always found a solution and I always will.

All that it takes is drive, motivation, and a big portion of curiosity. Recently, I've been immersed in deepening my knowledge in coding and am actively seeking a job to apply what I've learned in the past years. Every day, I continue to grow and learn, and my enthusiasm has never been greater.

Tools I Use & Why I Love Them

I chose Next.js because it offers a seamless developer experience with powerful features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and API routes. It helps improve website performance, SEO, and provides flexibility for both dynamic and static content.

Tailwind CSS allows me to rapidly build modern and responsive designs without writing custom CSS. Its utility-first approach helps me maintain clean, reusable code and ensures my designs remain consistent across the project.

Vercel is my go-to choice because it is optimized for Next.js applications. It offers fast deployments, excellent performance, and built-in support for features like edge functions and CDN, ensuring my projects run smoothly worldwide.

GSAP is a powerful JavaScript animation library that allows me to create complex and performant animations with ease. It gives me precise control over animations, which is perfect for creating engaging user experiences.

Framer Motion integrates seamlessly with React and provides an intuitive API for creating animations. It simplifies animations for components and helps me deliver smooth, interactive, and visually appealing websites.

TypeScript helps me write cleaner, safer code by catching errors at compile time. It improves code maintainability, enhances developer productivity, and ensures a better developer experience with its strong typing system.

MongoDB is a flexible NoSQL database that allows me to efficiently handle large amounts of unstructured data. Its scalability and document-based structure make it a great choice for modern web applications.
