About Me: Frontend Journey and My First Pet Project
Yurii Vychivskii/May 10, 2025
Hi! My name is Yura, I’m from Ivano-Frankivsk, and I’m a frontend developer. My path in IT started with a fascination for the web when I accidentally discovered HTML and CSS back in school. But I got serious about it during my studies at the Professional College of Electronic Devices of IFNTUNG, where I specialized in automation and computer-integrated technologies.
🎯 My Goal
I want to create interfaces that don’t just "look good", but solve real problems. I write clean, readable code using React, Next.js, SCSS/Tailwind, and I’m gradually learning backend, databases, and deployment tools.
🧠 What I've Done So Far
- Completed the "Full JavaScript + React Course" on Udemy by Ivan Petrychenko
- Built my first large-scale pet project — Nimble — a subscription management service
- Learned the basics of Git/GitHub, REST APIs, and responsive design
- Working with JWT authentication, Formik/Yup, Redux Toolkit
- Confident in HTML5, CSS3, React, and Next.js (v14+)
💡 What Is Nimble?
It's not just a pet project — it's an attempt to solve a real problem: subscription chaos. Nimble analyzes your Google/Apple accounts, calendars, imports your subscriptions, and reminds you before charges happen.
The project is still in development, but I’m steadily moving toward an MVP and public release.
🔍 What’s Next?
I'm actively looking for my first internship or junior position to grow in a team, learn from experienced developers, and contribute my code to something meaningful. In the meantime, I continue exploring new tools, writing this blog, and shipping code.
