About Me

Hey there! I'm Rico van Zelst, a 21-year-old Full Stack Developer who's passionate about creating websites and software. I love making things and solving problems.

In July 2024, I graduated from Talland College (formerly Horizon College) & Bit Academy with a degree in Software Development. During my time at Talland College & Bit Academy, I learned how to build websites and software applications using various technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Laravel. On-top of that, I also learned how to work with databases, APIs, and version control systems like Git. I also have a IT Specialist Certification in JavaScript from Pearson VUE.

I often use PHP, Laravel and JavaScript to build websites and web applications. I also have experience with Vue.js and Tailwind CSS. I'm always looking to learn new things and improve my skills. I'm currently learning Go for small scripts and backend services, which has been a lot of fun.

Sometimes, I enjoy writing blog posts about what I'm learning or working on. It's my way of sharing knowledge with others who might be interested in this field. If you're interested in reading my blog posts, you can find them here.

Currently, I'm looking for a job as a Backend or Full Stack Developer. I'm open to new opportunities and I'm excited to work on new projects. If you're interested in working with me, feel free to contact me here or on LinkedIn.

I'm always excited to learn new things about technology and to connect with others who share this interest. I'm happy to chat! Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss websites, apps, or any cool tech ideas!
