Hello

My name is Plamen and I've been working on web projects for about ten years. After working with premade systems and CMS's for quite a while, in the beginning of 2021 I made the first step to the next level - I began my journey as a professional Web Dev. If you want us to create something together, contact me!

My professional experience

I've been a professional software developer for over a year. I've participated in several projects for banking apps for clients outside of Bulgaria.

I've managed content on different corporate websites for over ten years. In the past I've been a part of the Marketing team, but my passion has always been creating clear to understand and easy to navigate sites and landing pages.

Education

Not applicable to what I want to do. I do however have a bachelors and masters degrees from Bulgarian universities, if that's important.

My skills so far

HTML

Everyone knows HTML. Still, the LinkedIn quiz was surprisingly difficult.

CSS

Noone is 100% at CSS, but I've gathered some knowledge over the years. I remember when rounded corners were done with images in tables.

JavaScript

The language that powers the web. I've used it to create front-end elements and logic.

React

A library I enjoy working with. I'm still far from knowing all its secrets, but I'm getting there.

jQuery

I know it's past its glory days, but I still find it to be a convinient and easy to use tech.

Bootstrap

I love this framework for the speed it gives me when creating a page layout.

SCSS

The better CSS. It's worth it even only for the nesting of elements.

LUA

A Language even simpler than JavaScript. A side project I took up in order to digitize a board game.

Some of the tools I use

VS Code

Dark mode, of course.

Git

I'm using Atlassian Sourcetree as a visual client.

npm

I'm familiar with the npm ecosystem.

Photoshop

I'm not a designer, but I can resize a pic or use the patch tool. I keep forgetting the difference between the burn and the dodge tool. I know I'm using an old icon - CS3 is the newest version I've had contact with
