It's great to meet you!

I've been working in tech for the past half decade, but teaching myself a lot longer than that. I have used all kinds of tools to make websites and applications and have won several hackathons.

But what do you even do, Julian?

Design + Prototyping icon

Design + Prototyping

Design + Prototyping Before writing a single line of code, it’s imperative to have plans set in place to know what to do. For websites, these plans consist of sitemaps, wiremaps, mockups, and prototypes.

Copywriting is a part of the process too, since websites need to inform visitors.

For design, I often sketch layouts on a page, mock them up in Figma, and send them to the client for feedback.

Coding + Development

Once all the design work has been completed, coding can be an easy task. It’s also important to code websites in a way that is efficient, mobile-friendly, and fast.

For coding, I first markup the layout and content for each page using HTML. Pages are styled using CSS, and interactivity is made possible using JavaScript.

I use HTML, CSS, JS, React, NodeJS, PHP, Wordpress, etc.

Mentoring + Teaching

"Docendo discimus" — The best way to learn is to teach. I find great pleasure in helping others find answers to their questions, especially with code. It’s what most motivates me to learn.

I currently teach students at Nucamp Web Development Bootcamp, where I enjoy over a 4.9/5 rating and do my best to inspire my pupils, and learn things from them.
