Career Journey

Hello again! I'm John, a passionate web developer with a background in physics and a love for tinkering and perfecting things. My journey into the world of web development started in college. Initially pursuing a career in physics, I obtained my physics B.S. degree and continued on to graduate school. During my studies, I interned at a physics lab as a computational physics researcher, where I honed my skills in analyzing complex data and developing solutions. However, I soon realized that my true passion lay in web development, and I made the decision to transition my career path.

Transition to Web Development

Having already gained experience with programming languages like Python during my time as a physics student and researcher, I found the transition to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript relatively seamless. To further enhance my skills, I graduated from a Web Development bootcamp offered by my university. This comprehensive program provided me with a solid foundation in web development and fueled my desire to continue learning and expanding my knowledge in the field.

Discovering Webflow

Throughout my self-taught journey, I discovered the power and versatility of Webflow, a visual coding tool that captivated me with its incredible capabilities. Although it's not strictly a "no-code" tool as advertised, Webflow's ability to automatically generate clean and efficient code in the background makes it a perfect bridge between no-coders and professional developers. I was drawn to Webflow not only for its user-friendly interface but also for its speed. The platform's fast load times and efficient development workflow impressed me, leading me to embrace Webflow as a primary tool for building stunning websites.

Passion for Web Development

Web development is more than just a career for me; it's a passion. As a tinkerer at heart, I have always enjoyed hands-on work and the process of perfecting and modifying things. Web development provides the perfect outlet for my creative and analytical nature. I derive immense satisfaction from seeing the end result of my work and knowing that I've created something meaningful. The ability to continually learn and grow in this ever-evolving field is what drives my passion for web development.
