Hi, I am



Akshit.


I am a Web Developer

Life is full of surprises! Ask me, I am a web developer who has a business and commerce background with UG degree in Mass Communications and PG degree in International Marketing. At that time, I never thought I would be making my own websites someday.

I remember the first HTML markup that I wrote. When I saw "Hello World" getting printed on the browser window, I legit got goosebumps.

Journey

Before stepping into the Tech world, I was at that same old place where everyone has to stand in their lives atleast once. And that is Finding the Right Career.

My willingness to do something creative and artistic initially pushed me towards Mass Communications. There, I did a radio show, organized an event at the Annual Festival, made a short film, learnt Adobe Photoshop, but Photography was something that I was most passionate about.

At that time, Social Media was something that always held my interest. I was deeply inspired by Digital Makreting. That's why I decided to pursue International Marketing.

My creative instinct pushed me again when I was looking for a job. I worked as a Content Marketing Intern where I created content for blogs and newsletters.

While applying for jobs in digital marketing, I came across HTML, CSS and JavaScript in many job descriptions. On doing some research, I realized I don't need a CS degree to become a developer.

With knowledge, skill and practice, anyone can do it. Not to forget how insanely creative and intense web development is. I followed my instinct and just went for it.

What started off as an effort to boost my former career turned into a 1-year grind that put me where I am right now -

A Frontend Web Developer looking for opportunities to kick-start my career

One of the key ingredients in becoming a competent web developer is continuous learning and increasing our knowledge database. It is pivotal for a budding developer to be familiar with industry standards and must have the ability to work with popular libraries and frameworks.

My next step is to learn jQuery. Another high-in-demand library that I am really looking forward to is React. Finally, to learn about designing resposive webpages, I would master Bootstrap.

That's why I have started a course on freeCodeCamp.org that is not only teaching me everything I need at this stage, but also giving me projects to work and learn.
