About Me
A Web developer by heart, a creative by passion
My name is Michael Ndikum Nji and I am a self-taught web developer and a high school graduate from Cameroon.
I first started the journey of teaching myself code in 2016 when I learned HTML, CSS and a little bit of Javascript and Python.
Since then I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos and reading a lot of articles on popular dev communities like CSS Tricks and Dev.to to improve my skills. I've also being a regular at Stack Overflow as debugging code on my own is not that easy.
My Workflow
My process when I start working on a new project.
1. Brainstorm
This is where I make little notes on the various aspects of the project like the stack I am going to use, the design pattern, and the overall outline of the project
2. Design the Mockup
Depending on if the project needs a complex frontend, I usually design the frontend of the website/app using Lunacy & Figma
3. Basic Setup
Here, I setup the project. Thi is where I initialize repositories, install the required packages based on the stack I'm using, and other basic configuration needed
4. Code Code Code
Project starts here with me coding the projects in parts I call Milestones, so that I have a definite path, and a definite goal to achieve within a given amount of time.
5. Testing
No major project will be considered fail proof without it being tested. I write tests to make sure my code does what I intend it to do thus allowing for a good code quality.
6. Maintenance
A project is never actually finished. With time, I add new features and have to update and fix bugs that may result from outdated dependencies.
