About Me

My Journey

I'm Alex Appleget, a self-taught Frontend Software Engineer with a strong focus on building functional, user-centered web applications. My journey into web development began just over a year ago, and since then, I've embraced a constant path of growth and learning.

What excites me most is the ability to turn ideas into reality through code. I thrive on solving complex problems and find satisfaction in seeing users engage with the interfaces I build. A pivotal moment in my career came when my team and I won a hackathon, which led to my apprenticeship leader deciding to completely pivot and focus on our app. He saw its potential to generate revenue, and as a result, I'm now considered a co-founder.

When I'm not coding, you can find me traveling with my wife or immersing myself in video games.

Skills

Proficient in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, with a strong focus on building responsive, accessible web applications. Experienced in integrating and working with large language models to enhance functionality and user experience.

Passion

Obsessed with traveling and exploring new places. Huge Harry Potter fan—still waiting for my Hogwarts letter! Love experiencing new cultures and a bit of magic, both real and fictional.
