Hi there!! 👋
My name is Nelson Rojas, I am a Frontend Developer. I consider myself an outgoing, fun, and friendly person.
I was introduced to the tech world when I received my first laptop in 5th grade at the age of 12. It was then that I realized I wanted to work in this sector (I remember learning how to download images from Google and feeling like a hacker).
I knew I wanted to work with computers from a young age, but I wasn't sure which specialty to pursue.
My first experience with programming came at the age of 15 when I started researching video game development and found a game engine called Unity. At that time, there were tutorials on YouTube about programming with C#, and I started learning.
Everything was going well until I encountered loops. My mind couldn't grasp what was happening, so I got overwhelmed and stopped programming.
I decided to start programming again, but this time with clearer goals. I set a long-term goal for myself: to become a Video Game Developer.I conducted a job market study in Spain and concluded that web development was in high demand. So, I decided to study web development on Udemy. I started learning HTML, CSS, Python, and Django, a chaotic path to begin programming (It wents very bad and I had to find an alternative learning path).
I established a primary learning path (with the obviously popular trinity) HTML, CSS, JavaScript (although I haven't started studying JavaScript yet, I had a solid foundation in Python).
The difference this time was that I took my time to thoroughly learn the basics of each language, reading and developing projects.
Through practice, I discovered that I love web development is an amazing field where I could be working on this for the rest of my life.
After two years of dedicated study and numerous projects, In August 2022, I finally secured a position at Playtech as a Website Manager.
This role has allowed me to apply my skills and knowledge in a professional setting, managing and enhancing various side software projects while contributing to the company's digital presence.
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, especially those in the Survival or RPG genres and spending time with friend and family.
