JC van der Merwe

Before I came across the Full-Stack Development starship, I traveled the universe across galaxies as wild as Film-Making, Business Law and Banking. There was always something not quite right with finding a balance between my extremely vast field of interests, being able to work with problem solving and applying systematic logic, while at the same time having an creative outlet. Needless to say, I never thought that my childhood hobbie of hacking games like Theme Hospital in DOS would turn out to embody a great deal of what I love doing.

Now, recently, I have the perfect vessel to go wherever I want in this fantastical universe we live in.

In my journey towards becoming a Full-Stack MERN developer, I have fallen in love with ReactJS and how extremely functional everything is. It is like building a 3D puzzle but I get to create the pieces myself, and that is what I love about it. I'm also a sucker for Bootstrap (don't ask me why, seeing as I almost always end up customing it and ripping the styling to shreds.).

“No communication technology has ever disappeared, but instead
becomes increasingly less important as the technological horizon widens.”

“Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder
about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.”

"The cherry on the cake."

"The more I practice, the luckier I get."

“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work.”
