WordPress/React Developer at myZone/AM2Studio
Targu Jiu, Gorj, Romania
I'm Bican, a full stack web developer from Targu Jiu, Romania. I love to share what I know through my work, articles and tutorials. I've been creating on the web for around 2 years and have become pretty good at it. From a technical standpoint, I spend most of my time working with JavaScript, CSS3, HTML5 and PHP (WordPress).
New and open source web technologies make me super excited and I can’t wait to see what is to come of the web in the next few years. I’ve graduated of Targu Jiu UCB University’s Law program and soon English Philology. Why not computer or informatics? Well, this is a hard answer, but this is my passion and I LOVE what I do :).
Contacted by Andrej - AM2Studio CEO, via Facebook, setup an interview and got a simple project to do. While I was guided by a senior front end developer and a couple of new tools where introduced to me (BEM, SCSS, GIT + more), I completed the project in about a 3 weeks training period. After that, my first developed site was live - SolidEvents (not maintained anymore) - and I got hired.
I'm into web development since I was in highschool, however I really started to learn more about it since 2015, when I started to develop my own WordPress theme, named WeCodeArt Framework. The idea was simple - to build something fast and non-bloated with tons of features that you will never use.
One of the reasons (after ES6+) I started to love Javascript so much, and because you can make super fast SPA's.
Best things in life are free, and WordPress is one of them. As Automatic says: "Code is poetry".
One of the must-have skills of every full-stack developer. Average with it, I've learned it following WP coding standards.
You are not a good web developer without CSS3. I use SASS/SCSS to pimp it and BEM for awesome/readable code.
Two of my favorite services for version control. I use them with Bitbucket Desktop APP to manage my repositories.
That's my favorite WP plugin for building amazing shops. I love it since is highly customizable.
I'm familiar with both code bundlers. Initially I used Gulp but later on I switched to Webpack.
JavaScript has become one of my favorite programming language lately. From hating it to loving it.
The must-have skill of every developer. This is what I've learned firstly when I started web development.
