// Profile

Nearing first decade into programming, loving it everyday (with ups and downs).
Started building webpages with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and now that environment has expanded beyond my imagination. Now I use nodejs, graphql, vue, react, nuxt, next, strapi, tailwindcss, scss, bem, webpack, rollup, etc, etc. Yet again principles are the same: write performant, maintainable and scalable code, help your future self and others.  Nowadays I'm focused more on Javascript and Typescript with aim to write functional programing.
