About my site
I've started developing my site 4 years ago and continuously refined it. It began as a simple WordPress site, using PHP, HTML, SCSS, jQuery and a lot of plugins. Using the tracking data acquired to better understand my users, I've come to remove unused sections of my site which meant removing plugins and unused code and display the area of interest as soon as the user landed on my page.
My current setup is still using WordPress as CMS along with the REST API which I'm using to create components with the help of Vue.js, completely removed the use of jQuery and came down to use only 2 plugins.
I'm continuously trying to improve as a developer, I'm always experimenting with new technology. As I'm still happy with the design of my site I'm currently looking to change to a content-first approach which helps me to freely implement new technology on my site. My plan for the near future is to use Angular and an API-First CMS to re-develop my site as a SPA.
About me
I’m a front end developer living and working in London, UK. Originally, I come from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, known as the Silicon Valley of Transylvania.
Every year I make time to improve as a developer focusing on the key skills of my role. My current skill-set includes HTML5, CSS3 + preprocessors like SCSS using the BEM methodology, JavaScript + Angular, jQuery, PHP + templating engine Blade, Git, Bitbucket and Jira. I use and prefer Webpack as my build tool even though in the past I've used Gulp, Grunt and Laravel Mix.
I have experience developing custom made themes for CMS's like WordPress and Drupal but between the two of these, I prefer working with WordPress which drove me to learn how to use WP-CLI.
In an ever-changing industry, I’m passionate about keeping current and innovative in my work.
