An Aspiring Web Developer That Wants To Land A Job 🚀

Hi there! My name is Heikki and I am a motivated and passionate web developer who wants to land their first job in the industry. I have studied coding independently for 1-2 years, and have thus accumulated a great amount of experience in using different technologies and frameworks through hobby projects and different coding courses.
So, let's get to know me a little better!

Technologies I'm most comfortable with
React.js JavaScript Node.js HTML CSS SASS
I also have some experience with these:
Docker Heroku MongoDB Bootstrap Redux GraphQL

Why me?
As I am completely self-taught, you can be 100% certain that I'm full of intrinsic motivation toward advancing my skills and utilizing them to create something awesome! 🔥

I'm constantly working on creating something new, whether it's little bots for making things easier (or let's be honest, cooler) or coding an entire e-commerce store. When I'm not my hands deep in a bigger project, I'm gaining more skills with online courses.

I also know when and where to look for help when I'm facing problems that I can't solve with my current skill tree - and I take these experiences as opportunities to learn something new. 😊

If you're not fully convinced yet, take a look below to see some of the projects I've done so far! ⬇️

Personal projects

Below are some of the projects I've created thus far! This list is not exhaustive, as some of my projects include Node.js projects that either run on my computer or in the cloud. To see everything I've worked on, make sure to check out my GitHub from the link below!

Tampere busmarkers

An app that shows where the vehicles of Tampere's public transportation are currently located and how fast they are moving, with a feature to filter the data based on the line number.

A fully independent project that also serves as a React practice using React leaflet and an API. This was my first project using map data.

Part of Scrimba's JavaScript course where we built a working Google Keep clone. Features include saving notes and automatically storing them in the browser's localStorage for further use. Practice for JS logic and using localStorage.

JavaScript Calculator

A JavaScript calculator that is capable of basic mathematical operations. This was an independent practice project where I wanted to develop my skills in using JS logic, positioning HTML elements, and making them look like an actual calculator.

Course projects

The projects below are built as a part of coding courses, so they are not my original projects. These are crucial in learning new skills and technologies which I then can implement in my projects. Check them out below!
