Hi, I’m Bijan and I enjoy making websites.
Better Websites for a Better Internet
One of my goals is to help developers be able to build highly efficient and practical websites. While giving non-technical people the ability to have an online presence they can be proud of.
There are a few things I particularly like to focus on:
- Semantic HTML, to keep websites accessible for everyone
- Performance, not just for user experience but for energy consumption too. I like to build Eco-Friendly websites.
- Simple, user-first design, nothing too flashy as that effects performance, usability, and readability. Design with purpose.
- Quality, I want to be proud of th work I publish, I put a big emphasis in creating the best code I know how to.
What Can I do
- Web Development
- Full Stack Software Development
- System Design
- Technical Support
I mostly work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, but have been exposed and have used other languages and frameworks as well.
If it’s on the internet, I will figure it out, it’s not a matter of if, but when. Regardless of the tools or the context, of a situation I learn and adapt to what I need to do. I research what I don’t know, and I experiment with the new things I learn.
AI Use
I use AI to go fast, but not to think. To ideate, but not to problem solve. To teach me things in a way that makes sense to me. I never use it as a crutch for things I don’t know. I take my time with learning as it contributes to producing high quality code.
History
I’ve never worked at a big company, I’ve spent 4 years at a small businesses making websites and apps for small businesses. I originally went to college as a computer science major but transferred to the interactive design major as that felt more my speed and it felt like I could use my code practically instead of in theory.
The company I work at is a digital marketing agency, so I’ve worked directly with business owners in helping them with all of their technical needs while maintaining a customer-first design approach. Everything I do to a website has a direct impact on the business, it’s up to me to ensure that the impact is positive one.
