Introduction
Welcome to my portfolio page! I created it as a personal presentation that showcases projects that I built as part of my web development learning journey. All of this came together as a result of serious discipline, self development and a great passion for creating beautiful and functional stuff. It contains both projects that I completed during courses that I've been attending, and projects that I built completely on my own. In order to ensure full transparency, I provided some context regarding these projects in the subsequent section.
Course Projects
Throughout the courses I've completed, and the ones I'm still following, I've gained great knowledge and skills in web development. These courses helped me grow as a developer and expanded my understanding of JavaScript concepts and frameworks.
The projects provided an opportunity to test my newly gained knowledge in real-world scenarios. They improved my critical thinking and problem-solving abilities and enhanced my technical skills.
These projects also served as milestones of my progress, showcasing my dedication to continuous learning and improvement.
Disclaimer: The projects presented here were completed as part of a JavaScript course. They were not based on my original ideas or designs. Instead, I observed someone else building the projects and then attempted to replicate them independently as a learning exercise. Please note that the structure and functionality of the projects may resemble the original work, but they were primarily undertaken for educational purposes. I acknowledge and credit the original creators for their contributions. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Skills
Hello, I'm Valentin
and I'm a creation aficionado. The early signs of this condition started showing in my childhood - I enjoyed breaking things. Now, you would say, it's more of a destructive behavior, right? So would my parents. But, I like to believe that it was only the act of my inquisitive, science-driven nature, that obviously didn't care much about the consequences.
As I mentioned, this curious little fella had an obsession for breaking things into pieces. I was determined to figure out how things work, but, once I did - the fun was over: my hely 'Laser-Blaster 2000' wouldn't take off the ground, My 'Transformers' turned into what I'd call 'The Formers', and my G.I. Joe's retired due to disabilities. Boy, did they all suffer...
Now, two decades later, I know for better. I figured out how to learn without breaking things. Well... that, and the UNDO button also helps a lot.
I took the advantage of modern digital technologies and the online literature availability to become a self-taught web developer. Finding joy in bringing creative concepts to life, I transform beautiful designs into fully functional, performant, real-life web applications. I have a solid foundation in front-end web development, with a particular emphasis on JavaScript and the React library.
My skill set includes TypeScript, Tailwind, Bootstrap, SCSS, and a deep understanding of React and its advanced state management concepts, which I've applied to a variety of projects.
One of my standout creations is the 'Weather Forecast' personal project - a 6 days weather forecast application build with React and TypeScript, which has a pleasant dynamic appearance that adjusts to the current weather and local time. This project showcases my proficiency in React and my ability to create interactive and user-friendly applications.
I've also worked on various JavaScript and React course projects, like the 'WorldWise' SPA, that helped me leverage imposing skills in front-end development. These projects are a proof of the eagerness to continuous learning and improvement.
Alright, enough with the boring stuff! Time to get our hands dirty and make up for all the childhood's curiosity. You'll start with a simple message and I'll bring the required skills. Happy creating!
