creative software developer
about.
Hi, I'm Ozan. A self-taught front end developer who is highly passionate about web development, innovation and creativity.
My interest in programming started years ago when I needed a website for my photography portfolio. I wasn't satisfied with the templates offered by website builders, so I decided to code my own site. Although my first attempt was far from perfect, it taught me a lot about the basics.
When the pandemic hit, I saw an opportunity to improve my skills and invested my free time into learning how to code properly. I watched video tutorials, completed front-end lessons on freeCodeCamp, enrolled in the Front-End Developer Career Path on Scrimba, and built real-life projects using JavaScript and React.
Since then, I've made it my mission to continue improving my programming skills by building well-designed, responsive web applications and user interfaces that stand out. I stay up-to-date with the latest tools and techniques, and keep an eye on industry trends to stay ahead of the game.
So, if you're looking for a website that's anything but basic, let me put my skills to work for you. I'm passionate about creating sites that not only look great, but also function flawlessly.
