About Me

Hi, I'm Andrew! I am a zealous programmer who codes a lot in my free time. I started coding seriously in 2020, so, I have gained some experience since then. So far, I have learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python.

My Coding Journey

Although I like to pinpoint the start of my coding journey at the end of 2020, that is not true. My coding journey really started around a couple of years before 2020, when my dad introduced me to Python. I learned the basics back then, and then I stopped coding. My newfound skill stayed dormant for a couple of years until the summer of 2020. Then, it was the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I was bored to death as I could not interact with my friends anymore, so I decided to pick up Python again. I started by making a simple calculator program that calculated things for you. Now that I look back at the source code, I feel an urge to laugh at how horrible and inefficient my code was back then. Anyways, by the end of that summer, I had grown very fond of Python, and there began my coding journey. A few weeks after that, I was scrolling through the forums of Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) when I saw people posting their “Blog CSS’s” I looked at their blog websites, and they looked quite cool. It was at that moment I decided to learn CSS. I started by going through the Khan Academy tutorials. There, I deviated a little and learned a bit of HTML. In the three months after that, I would code nonstop HTML-CSS programs. In December of the same year, I decided to learn JavaScript after seeing how powerful it was. Since then, coding has become my passion, and I have learned a lot of new libraries and tools since then. I am planning to continue building my coding skills and expand to new languages like C++.

My skills

What do I use?

Python
Since Python was the first programming language I have ever learned, I am very good at it. I use python to make games, to process data, and to code programs for programming problems.
JavaScript
JavaScript (JS) ladies and gentlemen, is what makes webpages awesome. It could even be argued that it is the most important of the web development languages. I learned JS in December of 2020, and since then, I have become pretty good at it
HTML
CSS
CSS is what makes websites look good. Without CSS, webpages would look horrible. How horrible? Well click to find out. Anyways, CSS was the first web development language I learned, which might be a bit odd to you, as most people learn HTML first.
LaTeX
LaTeX
NodeJS
Socket.io
jQuery
Flask
ExpressJS
