Hello! I'm Laura Umana

Junior front-end web developer

I'm a self taught web developer that's enjoying to learn to code and build things!

About Me

I'm a customer service professional discovering their love for building things with code.

In 2015/2016, my boyfriend at the time (now husband) was a frontend web developer. I was always asking him questions about how he built this or that and how cool it was. One day he was like why don't you try to learn and see if you like it? I experimented with it the basics but let it go to the wayside once I started working over 50 hours.

Due to covid, I had a lot more time at home and wondered what brought me joy. I remembered how I felt building the small websites and the joy I got making those. I decided to get out of the house by taking a retail job since I didn't to want to be stuck at home anymore. Once I got used to working there, I got the courage to rediscover my love for coding.

I'm seeking a full time role where I can contribute my skills both in coding and customer service to help a company achieve their goals.

Projects

Forkify App

I built this project as a part of the Complete Javascript course 2024 from Udemy. This was created so users are able to search for recipes and are also able to add their own. Recipes are from the Forkify API.

I really enjoyed that we were working with an API. It was pretty cool to see the amount of recipes that would be returned from one search.

Get it done!

I chose to build this to do list since I love making lists and planning my day. This app helped cement the React fundamentals so I can more easily build the next app with more complexity.

Since I'm an avid list maker, I also needed to be able to differentiate the priority of each task. I added the option to prioritize and made them different colors.

I made this using HTML, CSS, and React.

Faves library

I absolutely love to read and because of this, I have a bit of a book problem. I'm planning to write a physical library tracker where it will house all of my physical books, and let me know how many books are in it.

Since my book-buying is a little bit out of control, I want to be able to interact with some goals that will help me get it under control. I plan to make this with React, Google Books API, and supabase.
