About
Hello and welcome, I'm Ivan Miceta, self taught web developer, located in Belgrade, Serbia. In this section you can get familiar with my developer skills, resources I used while learning and detailed biography.
In the spring of 2020, I decided to invest time end effort to start learning web development. That road was hard, sometimes painful, and just one simple thing kept me moving forward.
I fell in love with coding.
The joy and satisfaction felt when I solved 'FizzBuzz' challenge, when my first project appeared 'live' on Github, or when I solved first CodeWars 'kata', was overwhelming and contagious.
It superseded, by far, all frustrations, disappointments, doubts and obstacles that are present and inevitable when trying to learn such a complex and vast topic such as a programming language.
I sincerely hope that after reviewing this portfolio, you will find my time well spent and my current skills level adequate for your needs. Looking forward to hear from you...
