WELCOME...

...and thanks for taking a look 👀, I'm Sandro, self-taught and always passionate about what I do.
Currently trying to start a lifelong career in the world of technology 👨đŸŧ‍đŸ’ģ. At the moment obtaining my certifications in Cloud computing technologies, specifically AWS. I built this website from scratch using "traditional" web development technologies combined with Cloud technology đŸŒŠī¸â˜ī¸. I'm always trying to keep all my progress and updates up to date here and a little more in depth on my Linkedin page. Don't hesitate to contact me if you are curious about anything or have any questions, cheers! 👋đŸŧ

TECHNOLOGIES

AWS provides a comprehensive suite of cloud services that power my entire web infrastructure. This website is fully implemented using AWS, leveraging its robust and scalable solutions for hosting, storage, and security. I am fully committed to this technology and am currently focusing all my efforts on obtaining AWS certifications to deepen my expertise and ensure optimal performance and reliability for my projects.

HTML is the foundational markup language for creating web pages. It structures content with elements like headings, paragraphs, links, and images, serving as the base upon which more advanced technologies like CSS and JavaScript are built. HTML ensures that web content is properly organized and displayed across all web browsers. It was the first technology I learned and started exploring with as a child, sparking my interest in web development.

CSS is the styling language used to describe the presentation of a web page. It controls the layout, colors, fonts, and overall visual appearance, transforming HTML structures into attractive and responsive designs. By separating content from design, CSS enhances the maintainability and scalability of web projects. As a photographer with a strong sense of aesthetics, CSS captivated me and led me to dive fully into programming, allowing me to combine my visual creativity with technical skills.

SASS is a powerful CSS preprocessor that extends CSS with features like variables, nested rules, and mixins, making stylesheet management more efficient and maintainable. It enhances the capabilities of CSS, allowing for cleaner and more organized code. I have worked briefly with SASS, and it has significantly improved my ability to create sophisticated and scalable designs, further solidifying my commitment to web development.

JavaScript has been a cornerstone in my development journey, opening doors to dynamic and interactive web experiences. Working with vanilla JS has given me a solid foundation for understanding and utilizing various libraries and frameworks. It has also reinforced my focus on creating responsive designs that work seamlessly across all devices.

React is a powerful JavaScript library for building user interfaces with a component-based approach. It streamlines the development of interactive and dynamic web applications, making state management and complex UI updates more manageable. Using React has not only enhanced my ability to create scalable and efficient applications but has also aligned with my appreciation for the sleek, innovative designs of web 3.0, fueling my passion for cutting-edge front-end development.

I have always said that my only ambition and passion in life is knowledge...

...and the journey that leads to it.

So with a relentless search for challenges and the ambition to gain as much knowledge as possible on as many topics as possible, I decided to embark on the adventure of becoming a web developer. Some years ago something started itching in the back of my mind..."you can't miss the opportunity to make your mark in this new technological era that we are living in", since I see this technological revolution as the new era of explorers, and combining that with my passion for everything that has to do with a computer, I could not pass up the opportunity. More than a year and a half ago I finally decided to start training and forming myself to become one of the people who will shape web 3.0.
