JAMES KERNICKY

ABOUT ME

I live in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and have been building projects and apps using front-end and back-end languages and technologies with the goal of landing a Web Design or Front-End Developer job. I have loved learning all my life, and I have been studying web design, and web development since 2020.

I built my first two websites in 2009 using Dreamweaver. I installed WordPress on one of those sites in 2018, and have since built two other sites using WordPress. The last website I built uses the WordPress theme that I developed using underscores as a starter template. Although I like WordPress and what it has to offer for small businesses, I love writing JavaScript and CSS to bring my project ideas to life.

WHAT I AM WORKING ON

✅ I'm currently taking a UI Design course by Gary Simon.

✅ Currently refactoring my Guitar Chord Namer project before I convert it from JavaScript to TypeScript.

📌 Looking to add to my freeCodeCamp certifications so I started their course Foundational C# on the Microsoft Learn platform.

📌 I'm looking to collaborate with over devs on JS generated guitar chord SVGs.

📌 I'm looking for help with keyboard layouts for different languages to improve WriterAssist.
