joshfernandez/README.md

Hi, I'm Josh (@joshfernandez)! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Welcome to my GitHub profile!

๐ŸŒฑ I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer and I enjoy building websites, apps, and technical projects to help other people. I am a creative thinker, and my journey in web development has been driven by my passion for learning, seeing small changes make a big impact, and the sense of community that comes with working on projects with others.

๐ŸŽ’ I am a recent graduate from BrainStation Vancouver, where I completed their web development bootcamp! I also graduated from Simon Fraser University in BC, Canada where I studied Software Systems (a branch of Computing Science) and Interactive Arts and Technology.

๐Ÿ‘€ I am early in my career in the tech industry and have been interested in (and have studied) web development, software development, technical writing, and developer relations.

๐Ÿ’ก Nevertheless, these experiences have instilled in me a lifelong passion for learning, innovation, and empathy-driven community building. Witnessing coding projects succeed and benefit the end-user has been what has kept me motivated.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ My Tech Toolbox

Throughout my career, I've worked with a variety of tools and technologies that enable me to bring ideas to life:

  • Languages: JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Python, PHP
  • Web Technologies: HTML5, CSS3, SASS, TailwindCSS
  • Frameworks & Libraries: React, Axios, Express.js, Remix.run
  • Backend & Database: Node.js, PocketBase, MySQL
  • Tools: Git, Vite, Heroku, Cloudflare Pages
  • Editors & IDEs: Microsoft Visual Studio, Atom
  • Project Management & Collaboration: JIRA, Confluence, Notion, Slack
  • Design & Prototyping: Figma

๐Ÿš€ What I've Built

I'm proud of the projects I've developed, which showcase my ability to blend creativity with functionality:

  • 1nterview: A video recording web platform for job seekers and recruiters, where I'm currently a startup co-founder and full-stack developer. Built with React, Remix.run, TailwindCSS, Node, Express, PocketBase, and Cloudflare Pages.
  • ComposeCanvas: A songwriting web app designed for musicians and songwriters in helping turn their ideas into songs. Built with React, SASS, Node, Express, and OpenAI.
  • QuizMe: An educational mobile application for students to study for quizzes and tests using flashcards and games. Built in Android Studio.

๐Ÿ“Š My GitHub Journey

Here's a glimpse of my contributions and what I've been working on lately:

Josh's GitHub Stats

Josh's Most Used Languages

Josh's Activity Trophies

Josh's Codewars Badge

I'm currently ranked 5 kyu on Codewars, a platform where developers enhance their coding skills by solving challenges (called "kata"). My 5 kyu rank reflects an intermediate level of problem-solving ability, where I tackle complex algorithms, data structures, and real-world programming problems. This experience helps me write more efficient, reliable, and maintainable code in my projects.

๐ŸŒ Let's Connect!

Iโ€™m always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and discussions. Feel free to reach out to me through any of the platforms below:

I'm always on the lookout for web development opportunities and related areas. If you think I'd be a great fit for your team or company, I'd love to hear from you. I'm also open to smaller projects and giving back to the tech community through mentoring and teaching. Let's chat!

๐ŸŽธ Beyond the Code

When I'm not deep in code, you'll often find me exploring another passion of mineโ€”music. I'm a songwriter who loves translating thoughts into melodies. I enjoy writing and recording my original songs and sharing them with friends and the wider community.

I also believe in giving back to the tech community, whether it's mentoring at hackathons, teaching coding to kids, or volunteering at tech socials. I find it fulfilling to inspire the next generation of developers in making the world a better place!


Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to explore my repositories, and donโ€™t hesitate to get in touch if youโ€™d like to collaborate or just chat.
