Hello, I'm Nevena. I'm a junior full-stack developer. I enjoy building sites & apps. My focus is React (Next.js) and Ruby on Rails.
About me
After graduating with a bachelor degree in Biology, one master in Environmental Policy and second in Environment and Resource Management I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in the Le Wagon coding bootcamp and learned full-stack web development. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, Next.js, and Ruby on Rails. I am also familiar with TypeScript. I am always looking to learn new technologies.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy running halfmarathones (I am a proud owner of 25+ medals) and sweing clothes. In fact I had my own fashion brand Kalas (check it out). I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning more about Project management.
