Hey there, I'm Gerasimos. I've been a Fullstack Developer for about 4.5 years. I'm dedicated to crafting seamless UI/UX through building and coding front-end sites and apps . Primarily skilled in React (Next.js). Also proficient in other frameworks .
About Me
I have a background in psychology and a passion for tech. One of my goals is to create tools that help kids with learning disabilities.
- 🔹Front-end Expertise: Proficient in React (Next.js) and TypeScript, ensuring sleek and responsive designs. Through ES6 JavaScript, I embed dynamic functionalities for an enriched user experience.
- 🔹UI/UX Design: With a keen eye for design and user experience, I prioritize creating intuitive and engaging interfaces. My psychology background adds a unique layer in understanding user behavior, leading to designs that genuinely resonate.
- 🔹Animations & Interactivity: Adept at using GSAP and Three.js to craft engaging and interactive web experiences that stand out.
- 🔹Educational & Professional Journey: Started with rigorous self-learning, further advanced my skills at two comprehensive bootcamps, and benefited immensely from hands-on guidance by seasoned developers.
- 🔹Back-end & Integrations: Beyond crafting front-ends, I'm versed in backend nuances, especially with Prisma. I've consistently showcased my skill in integrating APIs, ensuring smooth data interactivity.
- 🔹Additional Proficiencies: I've tapped into WordPress's versatility for varied content needs and employed Tailwind CSS's efficiency for modern, utility-first designs.
Outside of coding, I dabble in game design with Unreal, play the guitar, and hit the gym regularly. Eager to join a team that values innovation and user experience. Let's collaborate!
