Hello DEV Community! 👋
My name is Joseph, and I'm a full-stack developer from Nigeria currently studying Software Engineering at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun.
I specialize in the PERN stack:
- PostgreSQL
- Express.js
- React
- Node.js
Along with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS to build modern, scalable web applications.
This is my first post on DEV, so I wanted to share a bit about my journey and what I'm currently learning.
🌱 How I Got Into Web Development
My interest in software development started with curiosity about how websites and applications actually work behind the scenes.
At first, I experimented with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Over time, I realized I wanted to build full-stack applications — not just the interface users see, but also the backend systems powering them.
That curiosity eventually led me to the PERN stack, which I now use to build modern web apps.
💻 What I'm Currently Learning
Right now I'm focused on improving my skills in:
- Writing cleaner TypeScript
- Building scalable Node.js APIs
- Designing efficient PostgreSQL databases
- Creating responsive UIs with React + Tailwind CSS
I'm also working on personal projects to turn real-world ideas into functional products.
🛠What I'm Building
Currently, I'm working on:
- Improving my developer portfolio
- Building full-stack applications with the PERN stack
- Experimenting with new backend patterns and API structures
🎯 My Goal
My goal is to become a developer who builds impactful software that solves real problems.
I'm also excited to:
- Contribute to open source
- Connect with developers worldwide
- Share my learning journey here on DEV
👋 Let's Connect
If you're also learning full-stack development or working with the PERN stack, I'd love to connect and learn from you.
Feel free to say hi or share what you're currently building!
Thanks for reading 🚀
