Hey, I'm Hermes from Lagos, Nigeria. At the moment, I'm building up my knowledge of software development, I currently work mostly with JavaScript and React.js. I'm looking forward to checking out any of C#, Kotlin or PHP.
My primary stack includes JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js/React.js, SCSS/TailwindCSS, Cypress, Prisma, MongoDB
I developed an interest in coding around 2019-2020 mainly because I wanted to mess around with Unreal Engine and game development, so I started learning to code with C++ and pretty built up my foundations in programming from there, I played around with C++/Qt for a while before eventually pivoting to web technologies after I got exposed to it while I did Harvard's CS50x, so I've been dealing with web technologies for almost 2 years and so far its been alright but still feel like exploring some other things.
Currently, my daily activities are mostly coding, gaming and reading (manga/manhwa/fantasy books/studying)
If you're interested in fantasy books like myself then I suggest these:
- All books by Brandon Mull (I liked Fablehaven and might reread a couple of his books)
- Books by Rick Riordan notably books in the Percy Jackson universe (Percy Jackson, Lost Hero, Trials of Apollo), Sadie and Kane chronicles + Percy Jackson crossover and Magnus Chase series
- Mistborn
- Michael Vey
- The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
