🌼 Learning Out Loud: My First Steps in Web Development

Hello, I'm Akshatha 👋

I'm a beginner web developer currently learning HTML, CSS, and Java. I love documenting my progress with READMEs and reflection journals, and I'm building a portfolio that’s clean, accessible, and beginner-friendly.


Why I’m Writing This

I want to share my journey honestly—mistakes, small wins, and everything in between. I believe that learning out loud helps others feel less alone and more confident in their own path.


What I’m Working On

  • Building HTML & CSS projects to strengthen my fundamentals
  • Troubleshooting layout and spacing issues
  • Creating Java projects like an ATM Simulator and Student Marks Analyser
  • Writing beginner-friendly documentation and reflections

What’s Next

I’m expanding my portfolio with more personal touches and drafting blog posts that reflect my learning journey. I’m also exploring color theory and design systems to make my work visually appealing but not overwhelming.


Let’s Connect

If you’re a beginner too, or just love honest reflections, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s grow together 🌱

Awesome journey, Akshatha
Really like your “learning out loud” approach, it’s inspiring. I even picked up some stuff again that I’d kinda forgotten, so this was a nice refresher.
Keep it up
