Over time, I moved on to frameworks like Angular with Ionic and eventually found my true interest in React.js.</p> <p>Currently, I’m focused on mastering React.js and styling with Tailwind CSS, while exploring the full potential of Next.js learning about SSR, static site generation, and API routes. I’m also improving my understanding of performance optimization and clean architecture.</p> <p>My goal is to become a well-rounded front-end developer capable of building fast, scalable, and production-ready apps. I’m working on portfolio projects to showcase what I’ve learned and to prep for my next big opportunity.</p> <p>This is my first post here, and I’d love to connect with others who are learning, building, or just love frontend tech! 😊<br> Feel free to drop your thoughts, advice, or even say hi!</p> <p>Let’s grow together! 🚀</p> react nextjs frontend devjournal
