I'm currently working on a web app that combines AI, gamification and positive reinforcement to motivate users to complete their DIY projects. It uses AI to track the user's progress and suggest daily tasks, while also providing a visual representation of their progress. I am using the GPT API and working with the new React Server components and app directory of Next.js. For database management, I am exploring the new Drizzle ORM with SQLite.

moment
As part of an application process, I developed a website that allows users to share images and tag them with relevant keywords. I took the opportunity to learn cutting-edge technologies, such as the UploadThing library for image uploads and Playwright for E2E testing. I also used the intercepting routes of Next.js to enhance the user experience as well as React Server Components for server-side data fetching and faster performance. To ensure accessibility, I utilized the HeadlessUI library for the image modal.

Portfolio
My portfolio showcases my web development projects and skills, along with a blog section where I share my insights and experiences. The blog posts are rendered using the react-markdown and react-syntax-highlighter libraries. To provide an interactive view of my contributions to my projects, I have created a visualization of my commits using the GitHub REST API. The blog section is built with Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) of Next.js for optimal performance and my database is hosted on PlanetScale.

How to use react markdown with code highlighting
For a recent project I used the react-markdown library. However, I found the documentation hard to navigate. So I've created a guide for beginners.
About me
I'm a curious Junior Front-End Developer with a solid backend knowledge and a keen eye for UI/UX design. Clean and readable code is my top priority and I'm always looking for ways to improve the user experience. I like to keep up-to-date and enjoy learning new cutting-edge technologies and frameworks.
After working in Research, (Higher) Education, and Project Management, I made the decision to pursue my passion for web development. It all started with a side project, where I took on the UX Design responsibilities and realized how excited I was about the process of building a user-centric product.
Through self-learning on platforms like Udemy, I delved into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and graduated from a 5-month Full-Stack Web Developer bootcamp where I gained in-depth knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and React, applying them practically in group projects. While developing responsive and user-friendly websites, I worked with Next.js, Typescript, Express.js and MySQL.
Since then, I've continued my learning journey, constantly building projects and exploring new technologies. Feel free to check out my work and reach out.
