Skills

I have solid knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. I primarily use Sass for styling. I also have experience with React.js and I am familiar with hooks and React-Redux to manage state. I'm also acquainted with MongoDB, Express and Node.js, although I'm primarily focused on Front-End. For tooling I primarily use NPM and Git. My go to for writing tests in either JS or React is a testing framework called Jest.

About Me

Hi, my name is Richard Verbraak and I'm an aspiring Web Developer from the Netherlands. I got hooked the moment I started learning about Web Development, which was back at the start of February, 2019. I'm always eager to learn new things and try my best to be helpful if anyone needs it. I got most of my knowledge from a mix of Udemy courses, content creators like Brad Traversy on YouTube and Web Development tracks on TeamTreeHouse. Outside of all this, I enjoy playing games and watch TV Shows & Movies.
