About me

My name is Xavier (Alejandro) Lozano.

I am an ambitious Full stack developer and overall technology enthusiast!

I first discovered scripting/coding back in High School. I was leaving disc drives on an open and close loop at school and shutting down my friends' computers before I could write a proper thesis.

My interest in programming really took off after being introduced to Java, but even more so once I was introduced to website design using HTML. Naturally, I became driven to give my websites more funcionality by leveraging the power of JavaScript and CSS, and adding further DOM manipulation using JQuery somewhere down the line.

Since then, my skills have significantly expanded to include most languages for front-end and back-end development alike.

Programming history

My first exposure to programming came in the form of scripting, by creating batch files to conveniently lauch multiple programs simultaneously. I enrolled myself in a Java course not long after, where I learned the basics of IO and computer logic. My curiosity in computer programming led me to languages such as Fortran, C, C++, and Python.

Web programming history

Naturally, I wanted to share my programming knowledge with my friends and family, and so I took a course in the basics of web programming. In this course, I was introduced to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I implemented my existing knowledge on programming logic to create beautiful pages which I could then share with others.

Come 2020, I became even more involved in web development. I began to develop back end powered pages with Express, Node, and Handlebars and front end powered pages using frameworks such as Angular and React.

I strongly believe that web programming is a field where one is constantly learning new things because new tools and frameworks are created constantly. It is precicely this aspect of web development that I love the most, because I know that a career will always be exciting!

Hobbies

Out of my hobbies, hopping on a Onewheels has to take the cake. Not only is it an amazing feeling to effortlessly cruise through your favourite places, but as a tech enthusiast, I get to really appreciate everything that happens behind the scenes.

As a lover of nature and healthy living, I enjoy anything that involves spending time outdoors such as hiking, swimming, and biking. As well as consistently excercising and keeping track of my diet.

I strongly believe in continuous self improvement so I put a lot of effort into becoming a better version of myself one step at a time.
