Who am I?

Good day, I am Jea, a student Creative Software Developer at the Graphic Lyceum Rotterdam, with an interest in backend development.
I am currently in my second year!
Before I started at the Graphic Lyceum, I was already interested in programming and web development. I followed a course on Python in highschool and I had been learning HTML, JavaScript and CSS on my own at school I have also started learning PHP.
Besides programming and web development, I also like gaming, drawing pixel art, reading and sleeping!
My favorite games right now are Minecraft, Noita and NIGHT-RUNNERS PROLOGUE.
In my free time I work on small personal projects, like websites and pixel art. When I have the chance, I also skateboard from time to time.
I go to scouting every Friday evening, where we do all kinds of fun activities, such as pioneering, learning knots, making campfires, camping and much more!

What can I do?

I have been learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript for two years at the Graphic Lyceum and a bit longer on my own. I know how to make a website from scratch, and I am familiar with DOM manipulation, fetch API and asynchronous programming.
I have also been learning PHP for about half a year, and I know how to make a simple backend with it. I have made some small school projects with PHP and Sqlite and PhpMyAdmin databases.
I know how to use JavaScript libraries like P5.js and Three.js to create interactive graphics and animations.
I have experience with Node.js, NPM (Node Package Manager) and Express.js for development with JavaScript.
I have experience with CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and I know how to use Git and GitHub for version control.
(This website is made with bootstrap, HTML, some custom CSS and some JavaScript)
I also have a small bit of experience with Python. I have made some small projects with Python, I have mostly used it for small personal projects and one school project.
I happen to know my way around Linux (Arch and Ubuntu), and I am comfortable using the command line and setting up a development environment on it. I also know how to use Windows (10/11 and server 2022).
I have have had an intro into Laravel and I have made a the Chirper introduction project, but I would like to learn more about it and work with it more in the future.
For my minor I had the freedom to come up with a project and the technologies I wanted to use, so I decided to make a project in Rust. You can find it on my projects page under the name "rtree".
I am always eager to learn new things and improve my skills. I am currently learning more about Laravel and mongodb.

Where I would like to be

In the future I would like to work somewhere as a web developer or a software developer. I prefer working on the backend and working with actual programming languages. However, I also like to work on the frontend and make things look nice from time to time (as you can see on this website).

What I would like to learn

During an internship or a job, I would like to learn more about PHP and PHP frameworks like Laravel since I've not had the chance to work with it yet.
I'd also like to learn how actual production codebases work and look like and how to work in a team of developers, since on school we emulated it, but its not the same as the real deal.
