Hi there.I'm Christa.
Welcome to my world.
For me, programming is more than just writing code — it's about analyzing the challenge at hand, embracing the logic behind it, and then weaving that logic together to bring creative solutions to life.
My Projects
Food Blog
A minimal mock-up built with React, Next.js, Styled Components, Hygraph CMS, and deployed with GitHub and Vercel.
Fortune Cookie Fun
A playful and interactive web app, hosted with GitHub Pages, and featuring pure CSS and JavaScript powered animations.
You could say I'm a self-taught developer, but more accurately, I like to say I am community-taught. Most of the development skills I use today, I learned from an entire community of generous online tech professionals, enthusiasts, and instructors.
My Tools
Like most community-taught developers, I've explored a long list of technologies over the years, with CSS, JavaScript, and React ranking among my favorites. Here are the top tools that I currently enjoy using for development projects:
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
Python
React
JSX
Next.js
GitHub
GraphQL
Vercel
Inkscape
Adobe PS
Of all the things I've been able to learn, build, and accomplish since starting out on my transition to tech journey, the achievement that I am most proud of is being awarded the Per Scholas Core Values Award for displaying Ambition, Professionalism, Integrity, Resourcefulness, Commitment to Service, and Perseverance. I'm forever grateful for that recognition!
My Snippets
My Codepen is a labor of love, an extension of my portfolio, and an open source reference library. It's where I go to work out new snippets and refactor old ones as I learn new tricks. I picked a handful of snippets to share with you here, but you'll find many more in my Codepen Collections.
