Also, I love talking about my cats. You can admire them here.
I am an aspiring (almost qualified) full-stack web dev, undertaking a double Diploma of IT in Front and Back-end development.
The dual-qual is keeping me *busy*, so this site has been a bit abandoned over the last six months, but keep an eye out at the end of this year – I'm keen to show off what I've been working on
My biggest project of 2023 – my personal portfolio.
Everything I learned in my Cert IV contributed to this project. I started working on it in May 2023, where it started with just the front end, and have been gradually updating and improving it ever since.
It'll forever be a work in progress, but it's a labour of love.
During my months as a web development intern with Markworth, I spent most of that time building the company website. Learning to build websites using Odoo was a huge learning curve, as I was so used to building webpages from scratch. Odoo's WYSIWYG website editor gave me a good challenge, as it didn't provide the level of flexibility that I was used to having with my own code.
I got the hang of it, though, and I feel that it was well worth the effort.
A WordPress blog for various website findability topics.
This blog was for an assignment – partly to solidify the concepts from class, and partly to generate traffic by giving us students a way to interact with each other's sites.
I spent a long time playing with WordPress and getting a feel for it before I felt ready to publish my blog. Navigating the Gutenberg editor was a little challenging, as much of the documentation and tutorials that I was following were created for the Classic Editor, so it took a little while to learn my way around.
