Hi, I’m Nikola. Frontend developer - self-taught. Eager to explore the nature, my open mind and the new technologies. I consider myself to be a fast learner, able to grasp new concepts quickly with excellent capacity to remember new information. My tech stack in short includes: JavaScript, TypeScript, VueJS, Tailwind, CSS, Firebase and WordPress.
I'll start from high school, when I was writing poetry and studied music. Continued with social sciences obtaining BA and MA in International law. But also I felt in love with philosophy. Founded an NGO but moved to the capital to work for another NGO and project coordinator. There I met WordPress and I scratched the surface of the tech-world. So, I quit my job, turned back to my hometown and found a remote one - editing and publishing posts on WordPress for a digital media company. The job was easy and repeatable. So I started freelancing - WordPress websites for friends and clients after I was done with the daily tasks. While working with it, besides the web development knowledge and design skills I gained, I learned CSS and a bit of JavaScript basic concepts. Right before the pandemic, I enrolled in a three-month course for Frontend development, and then the pandemic happened. I continued with studying, but it was more like a hobby. I was aware that something should disturb my comfort zone to dive deeply into the material. The new decision was made. I stopped with accepting new WP projects, quit my job and bought a 60-hour course for Vanilla JavaScript. Since then, I'm learning every day. After that, I bought another one, a 20-hour course for VueJS, and among the other projects, I was working on this portfolio website. I'm glad I climbed these steps so far by now. I like this ride, so I won't stop here for sure!
